Forever

Often, I wake and search for you.

My arms, feeling empty and barren,

Long to feel your tender weight cradled in them.

I miss your head nestled against my shoulder

And your soft breath in my ear, lulling me to sleep.

I remember the feel of you,

The smell of you,

The taste of your kisses

 - sticky and sweet like your small lips.

But, sometimes, I wonder 

If you aren't a dream...

The only one I ever had worth keeping,

The dream that makes me wish

I could sleep forever...
