Thoughts

Alone and cut off I like awake. With eyes closed, I see her next to me. I can hear her breathing in the ear of my mind. The chill in my heart is set ablaze by a heartwarming touch that is not there. She is so close, yet nowhere to be seen. Again and again she runs through my mind. If only she would run to my heart. And yet, I dare not wake from this dream. I can never let her go from there, for that is the only place I can have her at my side.
