My bed has been cold for far too long. The empty pillow beside me seems so wrong and when I think about your head lying there I get feelings much too strong. My emotions well up inside me, they bubble up and over, soon I struggle to breathe, yet I cannot hide under the covers.
You won't be there waiting to take it all away you won't be there to tell me it's okay. I know I need to deal but these thoughts feel so real and I don't think I can cope with this endless lack of hope.
Yet I must laugh at myself, for well I know you are on your way to me even as we speak. You would swim the Atlantic I'm sure, just to see that I don't freeze. You'd rush to warm these blankets and do everything to please.
This knowledge makes me smile and suddenly I see, these sheets are not so cold and these hopes are not so dead and I know that soon your warmth shall overheat this bed.
