bread, butter and other luxuries

With you, I'm willing to settle for seconds
A quick touching of hands, a smile between words
A hand on my lower back, a kiss on the cheek
Nothing that lasts beyond a moment

I think about seconds as I reach for another slice of bread
Slather butter on it, as if soon, cows will go extinct
You make a face from across the table, and I laugh
These small luxuries are all I have

A cup of coffee to my right
An offer you have never made
"Oh you are leaving" you once said
But never "stay for a while longer"
