restless nights

I'm trying to sleep tonight dear,
imagining your arms around me,
but it doesn't feel the same.

Every hour that your not here,
seems like a million more,
and every breath I take without you,
seems like a waste for my life.

I miss you in a  moment,
in a heart beat, or in a breath,
I miss you in the cold of this night,
the chill in the air, and breeze blowing tight.

For a moment it almost felt you were with me,
my body was warm with your breath on my neck,
I must have dozed off because I opened my eyes to find I was alone.

It's like my mind and body are trying to find you,
tossing in bed,
closing my eyes didn't help.

I love the strength within your arms at night,
keeping me warm and safe,
my comfort as my mind drifts slowly away.

I'll try to sleep tonight,
lay my head down again,
close my eyes and imagine,
but it doesn't do me any good,
compared to the real thing.
