I lie down, pull the blanket under my chin and wrap it around myself tightly. Even though the thick down is warm, I feel a cold breeze breath up and down my back. There’s an empty space next to me where you should be. It feels like a cold black hollowness that only you can fill.
I squeeze my eyes shut and desperately try to remember the magic of your hands, the smell of your cologne, and the sound of your sweet voice purring in my ear.
The room fills with your intoxicating scent and my mind reels as if I am falling. If I just imagine hard enough I know you are next to me now. I can feel your soft hands sensually sliding around my waist and pulling me ever closer to you. Oh how my body responds to even your slightest touch. You whisper those tender words that I so long to hear and I impatiently wait for your adoring kiss. As our lips gently meet everything inside of me suddenly comes alive and I know that at this moment, the rest of the world simply does not exist. I only feel your sugary tongue against my neck and your kisses on my skin as you lovingly caress my back. We lie in our embrace and quietly worship each other with an ardor that I am sure few have ever known. I want to look into your gaze and tell you how much I love and need you, but as soon as I open my eyes, the spell is shattered and you’re gone.
I am again left alone in my cold bed.
I hug my pillow and pretend I can’t feel that restless, aching longing that tears me to shreds.
I need to feel your touch.
I need to taste your kiss.
I need you to hold me close so I can hear the beating of your heart.
I know I won’t fall asleep tonight. I can’t. Not unless you’re next to me.
