I awoke to your smell today
A perfumed blanket
And a memory
The quiet moment
Where I closed my eyes
And the pain went away
Sleepy eyed dawns
The rain drop sounds
I saw the streetlights
Shine in your hair
The warmth of your hand
When you took mine
And whispered
Everything is okay
The streets of a lonely city
I've wandered for years
Are yours now
And there are memories
I keep on each corner
Reflected in storefronts
And shadowed on sidewalks
When I reach my door
I still look up
And hope to see you there
Waiting for me
Brown eyes and home.
