Waking Up Without You

The sun sneaked through the curtain, And lightened up the place, Where you'd normally lay your head. And as I lay alone, beside you, I can almost feel your breath, Upon the back of my neck. I drag myself into the day, And for a second I see you in the mirror, Sitting on the edge of our bed. As I walk into the bathroom, I hear you call me from the bedroom, But when I look, you are not there. I laugh at myself, In the kitchen, As I put back a second plate. I feel the warmth of your arm wrapped around me, As tears full of my love for you, Fall from my face.
