You forget for a minute...
You forget why you're on the wrong side of the bed,
facing the window instead of the closet,
And then you hear breathing in the dark that isn't yours.
And the bed dips beneath him.
For a second everything is as you imagine.
Quiet,
Comfortable,
Frozen in the moment of sheer happines,
but the alarm breaks his sleep and your dream.
He rises,
no shine,
no kiss,
no idea that for a split second, he had it all.
I love this. I can relate to feeling like a stranger in my own bed.
