I lay alone
In this cold bed.
My mind races with thoughts of you.
My head rests on my pillow.
The other pillow, your pillow, I hold close,
Snuggled to it as I would to you.
It’s not the same.
You are so far away.
I yearn to be close to you.
To smell your hair,
To feel your warmth,
To hear your breathing.
My heart aches.
I hold your pillow tighter
As my teary eyes close.
To sleep I fall,
To dream of you,
To dream of us.
May you dream my dreams of us tonight.
