Are you there?

I lie awake
Alone, estranged
Your scent memories soothe me
Yet I stare blindly
Wondering if you are seeking me too.

Night looms
Empty -
Without your presence
I toss, listening to the anxious chorus of nature.

You used to laugh at me -
When I confessed my addictions:
Without you, sleep falters
As my heart aches...
for its other half

You are me
As I am you
Two shadows merging
To form one whole being -
Bursting with love, emotion

Are you there?
I seek your warm embrace
Missing my nightly kiss
A hug, a touch, murmers of love.
I am here - searching, yearning.

I drift off to memories
Of us, of you
As I reach blindly next to me
My dreams will bring me closer -
I know I'll find you there.

No, not a cat. Although my cat missed me while I was out of town for a week. I sleep poorly when I'm away from my fiancee, Billy. So I wrote this while I was away. :) Came home yesterday, and glad to be back!

Breanne... very poignant ... the best thing about being lonely is when he/she catches that feeling away.

Mom, what can I do but laugh? At least he tried. But that's why he isn't on this site. {wink}
