3758 Henry and Sadie

You watch the hearth and I watch the window. They say that you are a pack animal and that I am a loner. I forget what they call you, they call me Your Majesty. You are anxiously composing a sonata, the music of your daily walks, with rabbits leaping over grasses. I am working on my memoirs. We share the couch, it sometimes seems like we share little else.

In summertime our eyes will chase the same flies as they flit against the glass. Life is sometimes sad and often dull but there are flies to chase, and we will find them. We will grow old together, I will probably grow to be older than you dear heart, but rest assured, however old we grow to be we will be warm together. In winter we have the quilt on the couch by the hearth, in summer the sun through the window.
