Last night was endless dark and deep. I twisted in the sheets, sleep evasive and you rode back to me on tides of memory. I turned from the one I love (he slept soundly, unsuspecting) and fell into the mist of you. You had this way of tilting your head to the side and watching me like I was a fascinating thing in your world. In a crowded room, you would lose yourself in me reaching out to brush my cheek as if no one could see. Other girls would look away in envy and I would nestle into your touch. No one could reach us. You made me feel cherished, but I was not the only one. Other ties bound you and you would not break free, but would loosen them enough to make searing love to me. For so long, so long this was enough, but in the end I needed more of you. Sometimes though when I can't sleep you are still able to reach me. |
