cold

the morning dew falls off the leaves

its 7:00 AM, and i am asleep. 

i breathe deeply, in supposed sync with you

but thats when i realize,

i'm cold. 

i open my eyes and yawn

you're not beside me like you said you'd be. 

i'm cold

i pull the sheets over me tightly and close my eyes

maybe i could get back to sleep

but the coldness is unnerving and i can't get to sleep. 

i never realized that your warmth is comforting

and i need that warmth to sleep

the morning dew falls off the leaves

it is 7:00 AM, and i am no longer asleep.

it is 7:00 AM, and you're not next to me.

    like a bird in the great open sky,

    or a puppy full of sweet little dreams.

    it has been years since it has happened.
