~Echoes of Dreams~ (A CPC Collab)
I reached sleepily for your pillow,
But you were no longer there,
In the room were the echoes of my dreams.
Tugging hungrily at my mind.
Time after time.
Bereft,
Into the darkness,
I could only stare.
Sitting on the dresser,
Our love letters silent,
Left unread.
Silly me,
Those daydreams still haunt…dance in my head.
Following the darkness of night,
Remembering…
Feeling…
The glide of your touch against my skin,
And finding that all my senses had been fed.
Yes,
Those night’s whisperings,
Still,
Linger in my head.
The years have gone by,
And someone else has already taken my place,
I think sadly,
This was not a reality,
I could erase.
As I roll over,
The sharp buzz of the alarm clock rings loudly,
Putting the pillow over my head,
Praying this would not be a day that I would dread.
I rose slowly from my bed,
And felt the sunlight on my face,
Adding magic to this day.
Smiling,
Putting the echoes of my dreams,
Quietly,
Back in their place.
