Memories

Pale skin under black lace
Every inch of your body i trace
Silence except for our breath, matching the pace  
Every emotion we embrace
 
I open my eyes and for a second I see you there
My fingers reach for your dark hair
But you're just a memory, I don't dare
I dare not move as I watch you there  
 
Then slowly I watch you go away
Just a dream from yesterday  
I get up, no words to say
Get my coffee and start my day
