Her sleepless night

As she lied in bed,

She could hear his breath.

She could feel his heart, beating, against her chest.

She could picture his arms around her.

His left hand, on the back of her head.

His fingers, intertwined in her hair.

His right hand, at the dip in her back.

That moment seemed to last forever.

He re-positioned his body closer to hers.

The warmth from his body traveled through her,

Stopping the shivers of cold air, slipping through her clothes.

As she lied in bed,

She could hear his breath.

She could heart his heart beat slowly fade.

His arms, loosening.

His warmth becoming cold.

He was fading.

She batted her eyes to make him reappear.

But he wouldn't.

He was slowly becoming

A single memory.
