Night Time Lover

Night time lover

I awoke with the morning air chilling my body as the beginnings of winter crept into the dimly lit bedroom. The covers hung off the side, touching the floor, exposing me to the coolness that played within the air, poking its chilling fingers about.

With thoughts of you, I reached for the tangled cloth, pulling it up and over, I curled, gripping tight the fabric and smiled. To hold you against me, to cuddle tight would warm us both and I could whisper the things that dwell in my heart into your ear. I could place a soft, loving kiss upon your lips, your neck, and about. I could stroke your hair and gaze into your beautiful enchanting eyes. In the moon's light, passing through window panes, I could examine the shape of your face, the curves of your body, and I would be joyously pleased to be blessed to have you in my arms as we gathered a few more minutes of us together.

Alas, but a daydream, an early morning fantasy, and sadness arrived to this heart once again as I still, deep down, held onto a glimmer of hope that one day, one day the understanding universe of what will be, would have a heart for us.

With thoughts fleeting as reality sets in, I rose from my place of rest and went forth into the day.
　　　　
Thoughts of you, my heartstrings all but stretched to the limit, confusion within the brain, as sparks interacted, trying to separate fact from fiction.

Where do I stand? Where do I go? What must be?

Blood pumps through my veins, a throbbing sensation pushing through the vessels to the stretching point! Pain surfaces as I grip my head in my hands, and suddenly… a release of emotion, as tears gently make their way down the roughness of my face.

Stop this, stop this now, It's but another day to get through. Have faith, reach out and touch each other through dreams of night. Give it all, I have, and I will always do the same, feeling your love is near, around a hidden corner. Peace and a fulfillment of promises. Hold and be Still.

Alas, yes, but a dream. You were here. Yes, you were. Your scent, your presence has not disappeared. You blend yourself within my soul as one. I smile. It may be only a dream, a sad but glad dream. For without you, I am but a shadow of life.

Return once again to the evening hours, and we will love again.
