Compromise

The difference between when you're here,
And when you're out at sea,
Is much greater to you my dear,
And not so much for me.
Talking to me is hard both ways,
But to me it seems I lose,
For when you're gone, I know why you don't
But when you're here, you choose.
I understand you have little time,
To do with what you please,
But understand that talking to you,
Is what puts my mind at ease.
So what I ask is to compromise,
So a bit of time's for me,
A little bit less with the guys,
And I will be happy.
