Missing You

I sit on this empty bed
We made love in
Watching you gracefully move across the room
~
Our souls still dance with each other
When you sleep
~
Watching you sleep
Always brings a smile to my face
This is the only time you smile
~
Every time you close your eyes
Your dream becomes a reality
I caress the softness
Of your inner soul
You feel the softness
Of a sweet embracing kiss
Tender kiss
On your lips
I whisper in your ear
“I Love You”
~
You roll over
Hugging your pillow
Waking up looking into
Another early morning sunrise
~
What was reality
Was just another dream
~
You stand looking out towards the rose garden
We walked every morning
I stand here beside you
Whispering in your ear
Standing in front of the window pane
Watching the reflection of me embrace you
~
Missing me
You don’t
Know I’m here
~
My soul, wanting you to see me, the way I see
You,
You wouldn’t be so lonely
~
My hand reaches out for yours
As you caress the softness of your breast
The way I use to
~
A shiver runs up and down your spine
As if you felt another in the room
You smile, looking upon the empty bed
Tears run down your cheeks
It’s only a memory
~
You sense
I’m on the other side
Of the door
Your desire to open it causes you to look
~
We make eye contact
You walk right through me
As if I’m not there
~
Your mind is made up
You’re going to have a good time
Staying out with the girls tonight
But you can’t stop thinking of us
~
Baby
Were just memories
Please let lose of me
~
Your emotions overwhelm you
You feel the presence of me
Running back to your room
Your soul feels a desire
To look out the window pane
~
Running your hand across the glass
You feel my fingertips pressing into yours
~
You see the reflection of me holding you
You turn around
I’m not there
~
If only we could hold each other
One more time
~
We could make a memory
