and then i close my eyes to sleep
and turn my body towards
your side of the bed where
i put my arms around you
taste the sweetness of your lips
legs intertwined, transmorgified
the way our hips align
into one,
one more time
one more time i get
one more time i get to be with you
one more time i get to
feel what your body
feels next to mine
only to wake to
you no longer
being there
