there was a moment, just a moment, today when i thought that you were here.
i had closed my eyes to sleep and this whisper came across my cheek. it was soft and sweet and strong. a light brush of hair drew over my lips and then, i could breathe you.
had i dared to open my eyes, i never would have seen yours looking back at me. i never would have witnessed the deep pools that gazed, literally gazed, back at me. full of life and passion and music. made more powerful by the depths of words unspoken.
had i dared to reach out, i would never have felt those soft hands cupping my face, slowly sweeping down my neck and back up into my hair. i would never have curled against you, small next to you, fitting perfectly beside you.
had i dared to speak, i would never have heard your murmurings against my ear, speaking of beauty and desire. i would never have heard your breath between my lips. i would never have heard you call me enchanting.
so there i laid, silent, still, with eyes closed tight. daring not to move or breathe. and there i laid until i fell asleep with the dream of you freshly cast over me, anxious to see you again.
