All In A Nights Sleep

Missing him, the sad thing is it's a true story!

 

 

                                      All In A Nights Sleep

 

              I laid here and dreamt of you, imagined you by my side

your chest my pillow, your arms and legs my blankets,

your heartbeat my lullaby. 

 

Two hearts beating as one, in just the right time.

 

Though we are far apart, it was as if we were side by side.

The light smattering of your chest hair tickled my nose,

when I reached up to rub it, you snuggled in closer.

 

I awoke in the night, so sure you'd be here with me,  

 laying by my side.  I reached up needing to touch you and

found my head on the dog, sound asleep on your pillow.

Now that was quite a surprise!

 

I fixed the blanket, curled up back beside the dog

and laid my head on her chest.

Her hair tickled my nose but what the heck...

Ahh..the end gave me giggle..but I'm still really sad to hear the situation you're in! It really sucks when someone you love is away(especially when you have dreams about them and you think they're somewhere close..but then you wake up and reality sinks in :( )
I hope the one you love returns soon!
Oh, and of course, great poem! :)

Awe that is really funny, I mean I know its a bit sad when your loved one is away but the part about the dog was quite humorous... a truly enjoyable read my friend.
