Sometimes it feels like you never left
I swear I hear your voice
I swear I feel your touch at night
I can feel your breath on my neck
Your legs entwined with mine
The rhythm of your heart beats fast
Pulsating through my spine.
I swear I still breathe you in
And try not to breathe you out
I feel the warmth of your skin
Your body twitches so slightly
Laying close to me
Sharing the same pillow
Our flesh keeps us warm at night
I fall asleep convinced that you’re here
I wake up screaming
Covered in sweat
My heart is pounding
Thinking you never left.
Then it hits me,
You are gone
and not coming back
So I breathe in deep
Lay back down and put my mind at rest
I can sleep peacefully now
I remember you finally left.
