The Horde

Waking

I woke this morning not wanting to leave the embrace of my bedding. warm and soft calming and relaxing. Yet, I knew it was time for me to do so. As I started to rise it was then I felt the resistant pull of one not wanting to leave their side. wanting to hold me closer and send shivers of delight up my spine. Here's the kicker I know I am alone in my bed. I know that there are only two people in my home and the second one it tucked away deep in sleep in his bed in his room. Yet here is the feeling that I am not alone that the one I want is lying there next to me drawing me closer to be wrapped in his loving embrace. I do give in for a moment wrapping my blankets back around me just to realize that he is not there just as I knew he would not be. I sat there for a moment, wishing what I had felt was in the here and now. Wishing I could reach out and find my love at my side. Knowing that if I turn no one will be there. Knowing that my bed is empty and only shows where I have been. Yet, I cannot help but welcome the feeling for at lest even in the shadows of my mind I know what those feelings still are. I will admit that when I curled back up under my blankets hoping it was not a dream than there would be more than just snuggling yet I got to be just wrapped by my blankets clinging to a dream I never know if it will come true.
