Loveshine

Morning broke through my window this dawn
But you were not there
My nose felt the chill of the room
But my body was wrapped warm in your remembrance
I pulled the covers over my head
Trying to recapture the closeness of your embrace
The softenss of your shoulder
The stroke of your hand of my face
I closed my eyes and savored the sweet memory of your love
But the sun's piercing bright light roughly nudged me into the new day
And I just folded myself back into an envelope of warmth
Lingered there for some more
I did not want to move
Not wanting to disturb the moment
Only wanted it to be real and longed for your kiss
The heart gave way to sweet peace
And I drifted back into a dream world of passion
But the sunshine refused to give and I was forced to get up
So I laid aside that precious moment and knew I had to rise
Leave the dream behind
Face the world of coldness
And clothe myself in a new hope and walk on the road without you
Wondering if the sun would ever warm me again with love
