His Version of Surprise
by novoji

I kept my arrival a secret
A secret so I could see
In all these passing days
How much he missed me

I wanted to read on his face
A tale of sleepless nights
I wanted to see his eyes
Lit up in delight

I found him by the lake
Standing in a look lost
He was thinking about something
And I knew it were my thoughts

So I slowly crept behind him
Without making a sound
In his ears I lovingly whispered
As he slowly turned around

When he turned around I noticed
There was no surprise in his eyes
His face had no tale either
Of any sleepless nights

My smile slowly faded
And I heard my heart say
See for yourself darling
He didn't miss you a single day

He suddenly took me in his arms
And asked how he could be surprised
When he had felt my presence
Long before I had even arrived
