When you're there (I want to hold you, and touch you, and bury my face in your neck) I sleep lengthwise (I refuse to let my body move, I share my small sacred space with you) And when you're gone (I have dreams about you, about us) I sleep diagonal in my bed (I have to take up the extra space, when I am missing you)
