10.01.13 12:37am

I see your face -- your head resting on my pillow with your eyes closed and your sleepy, crooked smile. I can feel my fingertips run down the side of your jaw, through the stubble on your chin, and back to your cheek. I can feel the smoothness of your chest as my hands move down towards your bellybutton. I can feel our legs intertwined under the covers and the warmth of your body against mine. I have my pressed to your chest and I can feel your heartbeat. I am safe, wrapped up in your arms; nothing can touch us, babe.

And then I open my eyes and reach out for you, but you're miles away and I'm right here. Nights like these I don't want to go to bed because my heart aches even more when I wake up alone.
