sometimes i think about the emptiness of my bed, and imagine you laying there. breath steady and even, your arm draped around me. i imagine your shoes by the front door. thrown next to mine, probably in a hurry to sit down. i imagine your glasses next to the kitchen sink as we do dishes together and laugh about the water splashing up at us. i imagine your clothes in my hamper, and mine in yours. i imagine your books mixed into my book shelves, and your dvds laid next to mine. i imagine a life that may never be, a life with you still in it. a beautiful life, filled with the softest of dreams.
