My eyes swimming, the lamplight bobbing as it is held in my gaze; I watch the door swing closed with a resounding click.
Just a moment before were your hands, floating an arms length away from the sun- warmed duvet, shuffling in the effort of untangling your headphones, methodically stowing them in the pocket of your jeans.
The door sweeps shut, your silhouette in the hallway lighting now stifled and the dancing figures of the oak leaves are swaying together upon the carpet. The window glowing soft and meandering over my shoulder.
With a resounding jolt of latch meeting strike plate; I am left with the hum of passing electricity, the grazing cadence of my exhales, and the lukewarm divot in the sheets where I hold your departed presence captive.
