i miss our sleep
by Emily G Myerswhat i miss most
are the moments at night
when i drank in the feel
of the curve of your spine
they just don't understand
your hair brushing my chin
when you sleep in my arms
the way your neck smells when
in it i bury my face demurely
your hand resting
on the round of my hip
or how impossibly soft your lips can be
i disregard the cliche
there is nothing hackneyed in your kiss
these are the things i miss most
how easily your eyes close
the calm and soft of your breath
and how peaceful my sleep
when paired with yours 06/26/2004 Author's Note: it's not how you spend the time together, just that you're spending time at all.
