A Pillow in the Middle by ãRichard J. Budig 1995 This is -- was -- our bed. This was my side, And this was her side. But we slept in the middle. We cuddled spoon-fashion, My arm around her waist, The scent of her upon me As we slept in the middle. Often, I stroked her hair Until she drifted away, And then I'd snuggle close While we lay in the middle. Ah, this was our bed. This was my side. And this was her side. And we slept in the middle. But she's found something She likes better. So now I sleep alone With a pillow in the middle. And when it's late and dark, I reach out to my pillow And remember how it was When we selpt in the middle. |

Very touching piece. The last verse touched my pillow in the middle heart  Jenny ------------------ Love is an attempt at penetrating another being,But it can only succeed if the surrender is mutual. |

Broker6, Better a pillow in the middle Than no pillow at all. Enjoyed the read. |
