One Poem by Phoenix Kaelynn Rose

I don’t think I’d slept that well in a long time,
or at least not that deeply.
I don’t think I even dreamed.
I just laid down beside you and closed my eyes; the next thing I knew 7 hours had gone by.

I woke up reaching for the warm spot where you used to be.

Rubbing the sleep from my eyes, I watched you drink your coffee, smoke a cigarette, think about your day,

And I remember smiling as I thought how much I like my life with you in it.
