Suddenly I am awake.
I call for you.
I fumble in the dark to find your hand.
I turn on the light hoping to see you beside me.
You are not there.
I have lost you.
You have flown far away, never to return.
And I will have to spend the rest of my days in desperate longing.
Why have you hidden yourself from me?
You have doomed me to solitude.
I am terrified.
Then I realize that you are not really gone.
That you are probably sleeping in your room.
But even though I tell myself that it was not real, my soul is still skeptical.
It is not appeased.
And I, still sore from the loss, try to go back to dreaming.
Do not ever leave again.
I did not--and will not--go anywhere baby.
