Softly by my side you sleep.
The love I feel, so real.
I can still taste your flavor
as my fingers travel
the highways woven in your face
~~ not to awaken,
just to etch them in my mind.
I breathe you in,
the him-scent stamped
to memory,
and my skin still tingles
where we loved.
The hands I love
twitch in silent dream direction,
and I wonder
if I'm in there with you
behind your fluttering lids.
My own eyes close.
Softly by my side,
now softly in my mind,
you sleep.
