Missing You tonight you are so far away in the hour that should be sleep so I crawl to the space in this bed that normally you keep to the place where only you should be that night reserved for you to reside quietly here I am missing you for tonight you are not by my side miles and miles away from me warm comforting presence that I miss sleep is not all that I lack in the absence of your kiss so tonight on your side I lie awake where you have so tenderly dreamed listening to the silence drip in dark as miles away another heart lies awake and screams I’m not disappointed, I never expected anything from you.

Beautiful. That warm body next to you is easily missed! Mordecai's Mom Beauty by day becomes magic by night...when dolphins dance on waves of light |

There's nothing worse than an empty cold bed! I hope the space is filled soon. I enjoyed this, although I'm sorry you're alone! Hugs, Marti "I am not afraid of STORMS for I have learned how to sail my SHIP." |
