I lie here on our bed..
Trying to sleep..
The wind is cool today..
The crickets sing away...
I hear the occasional owl hoot..
The silence of the night takes it root...
Memories of you come flashing by..
The hug, the nudge, the rolling close and the rolling off..
I can still smell you in the night cap you wore..
And as I close my eyes, desperately trying to sleep...
Your absence, leaves such a strong presence..
I miss you to my core...
Wanting these nights to be one of those once more...
May you understand  my yearnings..
Because you have taken me with you..
As you have left a little of you with me too.
