What do you think this poem is about?

19 - Sleep & Awake

Between sleep and awake
I know that’s where you’ll be
Bathed in warmth and light
Patiently waiting for me
Nothing can describe the loss I feel
Now that I know longer see your smile
But I know we will be together again
In only a short but painful while
