Our home feels empty…
Without you here
Your presence is felt
But your body is not
I lie here attempting to dream
But miss the sound of you breathing
I miss feeling the warmth of your skin
I know you will return but at this moment
The loneliness overtakes me
Time seems motionless…frozen
Tomorrow seems so far away
And your return far too distant
I close my eyes and breathe in deep
Hoping to capture your scent …
To feel your essence within me
Eyes closed; you are lying next to me
I will live in the fantasy until you are here
Beside me; your hands upon my skin
Your touch signaling I am yours
Your arms protecting and comforting me
My fantasy becomes reality…with your return
But tonight I close my eyes and…
I miss you
