Woke up from the thunder, startled awake
Saw you sleeping through it, comfortably safe
My eyes traced your body lying on your side
I lay back on the pillow watching you with a sighI reach out to you, to spoon you in my small frame
But you disappeared, my hand an empty claim
The bedsheet just as smooth as you left it
Your essence though still lingers on itThe rain cries with me as I share an empty bed
The thunder roars echoing the unsaid
The lightning lights up the missing piece on my side
The wind covers me with its cold blanket tideWiped off the tears, feeling so lonely
The silence under the noise storming loudly
I heaved a sigh, a sob escaping quietly
Shut my eyes, rewatched my memories slowlyClosed my eyes remembering the warmth you gave
Closed my eyes remembering your skin on mine its engraved
Closed my eyes your kiss so soft and sweet on mine like wine
Closed my eyes, your voice I hear so deep and refineYes my perfect darling, I’ll go back to sleep as you say
I’m not alone you tell, holding me from afar night and day
In the depths of the night, I fall back deep in my dreams
There I’ll meet you, there the sun beamsAwake I smile, feeling better in this existence
Awake I smile, I read your text, your cute persistence
The storm has gone, washing off the loneliness
Leaving new beginnings, an endless fondness
