I Awoke

I awoke,

 

in the grayness of dawn,

 

and I was alone,

 

you had gone.

 

I was alone with the memories

 

of deep conversations,

 

deep love making,

 

followed by deep sleep.

 

I awoke,

 

in the grayness of dawn,

 

and I was alone,

 

you had gone.

 

So I shifted my body towards

 

your side of the bed,

 

still soft,

 

still warm,

 

still scented by you.

 

I awoke,

 

in the grayness of dawn,

 

you had gone...

 

But I was not alone.
