today i woke up to a spirit.
i opened my eyes to nothingness, but i could feel the warmth radiating off of the dip in the bed.
at first i was dumbfounded
where were you? could you be the spirit?
and so i fell in l-o-v-e with it.
wherever i go the spirit follows.
i feel it hold my hand
i feel it massage my shoulders
i feel its l-o-v-e giving me subtle back hugs through my days
the day you left i fell in l-o-v-e with a spirit.
the embodiment of your memory
the sweetness of its silence
and if the spirit leaves me, too?
at least i'll be prepared for the emptiness
