Goodbye

I lay there alone in the dark
Remembering your touch
Dreaming of what it was
To fall asleep in your arms
Your presence so strong
I can almost touch your face
Feel your breath on my neck
Your fingers on my skin
The taste of your lips
I long for you
Desperately
As if I were able
To bring you back
By my aching heart
Tears potent enough
To wake your soul
Halved by your leaving
No longer the one I was
Alone in our bed
I sob your name
The wind whispers
Through lace curtains
The ocean breeze
Carries your scent
Imagination and reality
Become one
As once again
I feel your touch
Things that once were
Are alive again
As you hold me once more
Our last time
A farewell kiss
A brush of fingers
Your body pressed against mine
Easing my pain away
A lover’s sigh
The rustle of cloth
Leaving only as dawn awakes
You love me goodbye
