Think of Me

When reality kicks in, and you find yourself waking up alone again,

please don't roll over and go back to sleep.

No, that is too easy.

Make sure you wake up and bask in the emptiness of where my body used to lay.

Take in the coldness of the bed.

Grasp the moment you realize I am no longer there to wrap your cold, oh so very cold feet up against mine. Or how about you linger on the fact that you'll never wake up to my face and embrace again.

No, you see the thing is, if you fall back asleep, you win.

You get to live the pretend life, and then you get to lay your head and rest.

And when you dream, well, you get to see yourself every night in your truest form, from the deepest desire of your subconscious, but in reality, I'm not around to see.

Then you wake up again.
