All I want
is to lay on my bed,
under the navy blue comforter,
(with the lime green
dead body outline)
in your arms.
Not ******,
just laying together.
My head on your chest,
your arms wrapped around me.
The gentle rise
and fall of your chest
under my cheek.
Music playing gently
in the background.
Your thumb gently
brushing back
and forth, maybe
you gently rub
my back. Maybe
you lean down
every now and
then to press a small
kiss to my forehead
or to gently,
ever so gently
nibble lightly on
my neck
with your lips, like
how you do
sometimes when
we hug
in the hallways.
But for now I'll
have to substitute you
with my body pillow,
pretending that it's you,
so I'll fall asleep.
