At the weekends only

Morning with a semi - serious undertones

At the weekends only 

Yes, I like to see you 
when you pop over to say "hi!", 
to drink coffee together slowly 
but all that 
at the weekends only, 
I seem to be that sort of guy. 

At the weekends only 
and you might like to ask me "why?", 
whether it at times feels lonely 
and whether I have things to hide. 

And how can I say I never know 
why I've decided to live alone, 
trying to look that I'm just fine 
with a decision which wasn't mine. 
How I miss it every single day 
when our fingers touch, interlace 
but by now you know me 
I can do it 
at the weekends only.

Thoughtful prose piece. It evokes a spirit of longing due to loneliness but also explores the internal conflict for independence. I wonder at the choice of "at" rather than "on" for the title phrase as it seems a little awkward and unfamiliar but other than that, great poem.

Very moving piece! Keep it up :)
