Moonlight streamed through the window
Casting shadows all around the room
I could feel your body close to mine
As I lie awake, listening to you breathe...
I thought, How lucky I must be
To have someone love me as you do
And I prayed a silent prayer
That you would never leave...
The clouds overtook the moon
Hiding her in a cloak of darkness
And the shadows shifted
Swallowing the room in silence...
I lay there on the bed
Feeling the sheets cold against my skin
But I could no longer feel your weight
Or hear the sound of your breathing...
Turning softly, I reach for you
Wanting to feel the rise and fall of your chest
But my hand only touches a pillow
And I realize...
