IN THE MOMENTS BETWEEN SLUMBER AND WAKEFULNESS

In the moments
between slumber
and wakefulness,
I open my eyes
and see you,
I feel my arms
around you,
and the weight of you on my chest,
the way it felt when you
kissed me last night,
and the way we held
hands before we slept.
If only this moment could last
forevever,
But alas, I'm only waking up alone on a train.
But at least I'm on my way to you.

On the train back from Atlanta, even if not really on the way back to her.
Also written with it:

Do you never wake up or open your eyes
and wish that I were with you?
Close your eyes, and wish that
I were there?
I do.
I feel that way about you.
I think about you all the time.
All the day.
