LET ME LET YOU IN ON A SECRET...
(I LIE IN BED)

I lie in bed
with my arms wrapped tightly about the pillow,
wishing that they were wrapped tightly about you.
kissing the empty air,
wishing that my lips were kissing you,
with my legs pressed firmly against the mattress,
wishing that they were pressed firmly against your body.
Rubbing my stubble across the pillowcase,
wishing I was rubbing it across your cheek.
Holding my arms unto my chest,
wishing that it was you up against me.
And missing you to my heart's content,
wishing that you were there...
because I love you.
