Each night I dream. As I lay in your arms. Safe. Loved. Protected. The same dream haunts me. Plagues me throughout the day.

Come away with me. And we will fly.

I dream of leaving this life behind. Running from our duty. Obligations. Expectations. Fleeing. Never looking back

We ride into the sun set. Leave all we’ve known behind. No regrets. Worries. Just this. Only us.

Come away with me. And we will see.

A new life. A simple life. A full honest life.

No more hiding. No more pretending.

Touch you freely. Hold you close every night. Fall asleep in your embrace. Wake beside you. Simple pleasures. Domesticity. Normality. Life.

Each night it is the same dream. Every night it is different. The same wish. To leave this life behind. To start anew.

To travel. See the places our hearts long to go. Stay for days in quaint villages. Sit beside a lake. Make love beside a fire.

To settle. Build a house. A home. Sleep soundly in a bed. Lay beside the fire place.

Come away with me. And we will be.

The sun is setting. I lean against the door frame. Arms folded. See you come over a ridge. Sun behind you dulls by comparison. Rabbits in hand. Bow across your back. A small smile graces my lips at the sight of you.

A swagger in your step as you come closer. You pull me to you. Rabbits lay forgotten. A kiss. Sweet. Passionate. Offering promises of more. You smirk as we pull away for air. Twinkle in your blazing eyes. The rabbits will do for breakfast.

Come away with me. And we will soar.

There is no fighting. No quest. No duty. Only us. Free to be. To live. To love.

I wake to the sound of rain on the window. Watch rivulets form. Merge. Disappear. Start as the door opens. You stand there. Tray in hand. A flower in a simple glass. Rakish smile pulls at your mouth.

Sit up to receive your offering. Feel the swell of my stomach. The life therein. Growing with time. Becoming. Whole. Alive.

You rest the tray on my lap. Take up position beside me. Hold me close. Feed me the fruits you have prepared. Playful. Gentle. Sweet.

This is the life I dream of. With all of its cliché. The life I find I long for. Come away with me.

You press a gentle kiss to my temple. The sweetest way to wake. Mouth smiles before my eyes open. Find your face mirrors mine.

We stand to leave. To return to reality. My smile falters. Know this is all we can have. But for now these moments are ours. These nights together my life. I realise this is the life I live for. With you beside me it is worth living. Worth the ache of separation. Worth fighting for.

And one day we will have more. One day you will come away with me. We will ride off into the sunset. Never looking back.

The dull ache long forgotten. The sadness never to return. And your kiss on my lips. This thought will hold me. Strengthen me. Bear me on.
