Beside me

So vaguely I recall
Peaceful rest
Knowing your breath
Though across the continent
Was audible
Knowing your voice would answer
If i called your name
I remember
Falling asleep
To images of you
& you, though hundreds of miles away
Slept beside me

I wish you
With comforting voice
& calming breath
Lay beside me now
I believe you would
If you could
I know I still matter
In your eyes

So tonight
As I close my eyes
Seek to rest my mind in sleep
I dream of you
Beside me

I love you
(goodnight)
