and sometimes, when i couldn't sleep, i would think of you
and for just a moment, i could feel your presence around me
i could feel your warm breath on my cheek
and your familiar lavendar smell filling my nose
i'd remember your gentle, gentle voice
and the soft touch of your skin
"i'm right here," you'd whisper, "right here. i'm not going anywhere,"
and i'd hold on tightly to your words,
to the hope that i'll wake up and still find you there.
you'd caress my hair,
and for a moment,
i'd feel the sweet familiar serenity that left when you did,
and for a moment,
i could feel the beautiful, safe feeling in my chest,
the feeling i had difficulty remembering
and for just a moment, home felt like home again
one moment, one moment, one moment
and then, the moment was gone.
