It's hard to sleep...when the bed is too wide .

## **When the Bed Is Too Wide*

It is hard to sleep alone
On this wide, waiting bed.
When my hand reaches for you,
It gathers only the comforter �"
Yet I pretend
It is your arm
Wrapped around my waist,
Your leg tangled with mine,
Holding me close.

In the quiet of the night,
I close my eyes
And feel you anyway.

You may think
I am stingy in loving you,
Careful with my words,
Slow with my promises.
But only you know the truth �"
That I pour my love in silence,
And you, my love,
Are just as shy,
Just as careful,
Just as deeply mine.

Let the world eavesdrop.
Let them guess and whisper.
They hear only echoes �"
They do not know
What beats between us.

Every second with you
Becomes a jewel of memory.
I keep each one
Folded safely in my heart,
Treasured like a secret prayer.

Some may say
I have conquered life,
That I stand strong before storms.
But they do not see
How quietly you stand behind me,
Disguised in strength,
Shielding me from breaking.

For we are not two souls
Walking side by side.

We are one �"
Breathing in two bodies,
Living one love,
Sharing one destiny.

And even when the bed feels empty,
My heart never is.
