i miss you.

Rest In Peace.

you turn over, your eyes pressed shut deep into your dreams, your arms stretching far above your head. you are still for a moment; your mouth partly gaped to allow a yawn to pass through your delicate lips. you relax and one of your eyes slightly opens, a flash of light from a blue and watering eye. as you see me, a simple smile graces your face, dancing across my mind, telling me that you are here and everything is going to be okay. memories from the previous night begin to leak into my mind until i am being flooded with remembrance; flashbacks of the tears and the pain enter my mind. i squint my eyes in pain, and reach out to hold your hand. but all i manage to grasp is a pile of sheets, and as i open my eyes, you are gone. i lie in this position for a moment, holding onto something that isnt real, until i sit up in bed and stare at the cool, unused pillow, sitting lifelessly next to me, imagining the imprint of your head pressed into it. i look around, a little unsure, and then look into the sun. "good morning, beautiful," i tell you as the sun rises past my window. "today's a new day."
