I woke up this morning, arm reaching over
To the side of the bed where you'd be,
I was groggy and started searching for you,
Until I was wide awake and realized you weren't here with me.
I sat up slowly and rubbed my eyes,
Looking down at the other half of the bed
And let out a soft, barely audible whimper
As thoughts of you paraded through my head.
I ran my fingers over the sheets lightly,
As if I could pretend you were there
As you would be at some point
And with that, soft excitement flared.
I imagined your head resting softly against the pillow,
Eyes closed in peaceful, undisturbed slumber,
A faint smile painted on your gentle lips
As you dreamed of something sweet; it aroused a slight wonder.
I sighed deeply as my head hung a bit
As I missed you terribly,
I wished you to appear beside me, all snug under the covers
But I still sat there, unbearably lonely.
I smiled to myself just a little,
Pictures of the future springing forth in my mind,
Creating an image of you and me together
Laying comfortably side by side.
