the empty space
left for you
in my single bed
should be pleasurable
for now i have room to stretch
but when the lights go out
and i lay down to sleep
all i can do
is imagine how it is
to have you next to me
fighting for equal space
draped by your arms
instead of these blankets
but i remain restless
and all i can do in these moments
is wonder if you are awake too
contemplating a simple message
that would ask me to be yours
for just one more night
