You are 4235 miles (6816 km) (3680 nautical miles)
from me.
It’s night there and here.
We’ve already kissed goodnight
in our special way.
I can sense you’ve drifted off to sleep,
where the two of us are walking hand in hand,
in your nightly dreams.
I know this, because
you are right now in my day dreams.
With my eyes open, I look out into space.
Seeing you halfway under the covers
I run my hand down your back,
feeling the softness of your skin.
Your warmth radiates up towards me
as I slide in by your side.
Resting my face on your shoulder,
I breath in deeply, just loving your scent;
parfum de l'homme.
Your breaths are slow and gentle.
All your muscles relaxed, at ease.
I pull in closer for a sleepy embrace
when the dog jumps up on the bed,
worming his way between us.
Smiling now, I can see it all
as I’m sipping tea on the sofa,
4235 miles away.
