I succumb to the sleep
Laying on my side
Fingers curled in the linen
Strangling the soft
Cocoon in which I lay
Head lowered and pressed
Against a softened pillow

I dream of you
Forming your silhouette
In my mind
Pretending you are laying there
With me, behind me
Your protective arm
Against my chest
Pulling me in close

I feel you caressing my hair
Twirling it, stroking every fiber
With a loving and knowing hand
Your breath on my neck
Sending shivers deep within

My body parts for you
At the slightest touch
Wanting you within me
As I feel dancing fingers
Play my body at a fevered rhythm
Causing me to pitch and writhe
Falling deep into your embrace

I turn kissing your hot mouth
Running my fingers through your hair
Caressing your body as you like it
In the way that I know you adore
Tell me once more that you love me
For I will always be your angel
If you only let me be as such

I awaken tangled in the sheets
My heart beating rapidly
Body numb and tingling
I turn to your side and realise
It was only an apparition of the mind
Until we meet dreams are all we have
Until we meet…
