Summary:
Found this poem while I was looking through some old journals. Love doesn't always stay.

LAST NIGHT

I awoke in the middle of the night

thinking you were there.

I swear I heard your heart beat

coming from your side of the bed;

could feel your breath

softly warm my face;

could smell you,

a womanly musk,

floating crisply

like a clear winter’s day.

I awoke

thinking you were there.

But it must have been a dream

cause you left

some time ago

taking with you a warm bed,

the rising morning sun,

and the way the moon

loves eating orange.

      • Dreams like this are “sweet”, Fia. They are “cozy” as well, but then there comes the hollowness when you awaken and realize it is just a dream, a memory of what once was. Thank you, Fia, for your comment.

    1. Ah, we all have been there, and seek to write an adequate poem to capture the feelings that it causes. Your write does it very well, tenderly and a slight bit hauntingly. Wonderfully written.
