We both go to bed
But I never get to sleep.
I pretend to dream as
I lie awake.
Seeing things that
Just aren’t real.

Like you and me.
Head over heels mad about
The whole thing
When really it’s just an excuse
To be animalistic

I can only imagine
What it should be.
As I lie awake
You reach for my hand
In the dark.
My fingers are warm
But then you lock yours in mine,
It becomes twice that.

Stroking the curve of my side
You whisper into my skin.
The chilly storm outside
Will keep us warm for the night.
Your soft lips are
all I ever wanted
And now I have everything
I ever needed. With you.

Mumbling sweet nothings,
You turn over in a dead sleep
As I lie, still blindingly awake.

A sobering thought,
To what really happened
Last night.
