Take your place beside her as I lie in this bed alone. These sheets don't do you justice, I trace into this skin with my own; remembering the ghost of your fingertips, so lightly, touching me; just barely, but enough for me to realize that you are what I need. I have memorized the lines in your face, the crinkle when you smile; the light in your eyes when I make you laugh.. oh, love, it has been quite a while. A few days have turned into months, my heart's never been free. You've kept it all this while, did you know? I wonder if you're missing me.
