No Matter How Late

be home.

OK.

(7PM) You should eat.

OK.

(11PM) Could be hours. You should sleep.

I’ll stay up until you get here.
No matter how late.

Because I love you.
No matter how late.

This work was inspired by Laura’s husband, Joe Glover. They have been married for 24 years and he has always waited up until she gets home so that they can end each day together - no matter how late.
