Weekends away from you are brutal on me.  You really have no clue how deep my love is do you?  I slip in late seeing you asleep on the couch wrapped tight in a blanket.  I knew you did your best to wait up and as I lean down and kiss you I almost laugh as you push me away “not now daddy” I tuck you in on the couch.  Apparently your dreams are better than me getting home to you.  I take a long hot shower and put on my robe, turn down the lights and open a book to help my mind slow down.   This bed is going to be cold tonight but I learned to leave you be when you were sleeping comfortably.  Then the thunder came.   A low rumble that got louder, faster, bare feet on hardwood thunder and you burst into the room, leaping onto me “Daaaaaaaaaddddyyy!”
