I know the reasons you had to leave me
Maybe it's the best for now, I can be free

I look over at your side of the bed
At first I cried, then I let myself be led

I'd known him for years, he's a good friend
I wish I could tell I thought about it in the end

Sad and lonely, missing us, I tried
I was weak, gave in to a need, I lied

When you'd call, ask was I sleeping well
I'd tell you no I missed you, don't dwell

Now someone else is on your side of the bed
He's there now, there is nothing more to be said

He stays with me and watches me laugh and cry
Soothing and calming me, he never asks why

We've been up late most nights since you left
Frolicking, rolling about, at fun he's quite deft

I know it sounds bad, but I confess it gets worse
He brought his brother last night, maybe we're cursed

I admit at first I was hesitant, was I losing my mind
All three of us in bed, what experience would I find

Another confession, we had such fun that night in bed
King sized, not big enough, one fell off hitting his head

I woke the next morning wondering what I had done
Covered in scratches, sore and in some places numb

I don't regret it one bit, but for now I think I am done
No matter the delight they give, you are still the one

Please hurry home, come back and lie down with me
I miss even your snoring, from that I have been free

I'll try to behave, but you know I am weak when alone
I hear that male voice in the house, oh please just phone

It's time to fill your side of the bed, you need to and should
Mornings are the worst, I really miss your morning wood

I'll hold out as long as I can and I'll try not to act rash
But I'm afraid those damn cats have found the catnip stash

They'll be pouncing on me again tonight wanting to play
I need you back, so they can bother you during the day

Cats are a poor substitute for your presence at night
I don't care if you snore or how much we fight

I love you and all our faults add up together
To a love that is free from harm and always forever
