Laying in your bed
With your pillow under my head
Cool spring breeze swirls about
Delivering the fresh scent of lilacs
Through the open windows of your room
Hours ago your alarm clock rang
Removing you from my arms
For work calls
Though I wish you were still here
Snuggled up to your chest
Hearing your calming voice
Whispering, “Good morning beautiful”
I could lay there forever
All my problems seem to fade
When you are next to me
For hours you will be gone
Working hard
If there is a job to do
You will get it done
Because that is how you are
Looking at the clock on your headboard
Counting the hours until you return
For when you walk back through the door
A smile will be shown
Bright across my face
Happy to be with you again
To feel the love you have for me
By the way you bathe me
in such sweet delicate words
The gentle touch of your hand
across my cheek
Tells me I’m no longer dreaming
For your time away has ended
I lay smiling in your bed
Where you slipped out of my arms
Many hours ago
I touch your hand
Pull you close
Kiss your lips
Then softly whisper
“I missed you”
