Woke up last night

I must have been dreaming of you
I woke up
Feeling happy. Complete
I immediately looked to the right of me seeking to find you there
But the bed was empty
The bed covers were disarrayed is such a manner it looked like you’d thrown the covers to the side as you left the bed.
I remember smiling
Missing you instantly
Then thought as I stated to uncover and too escape the bed
He must be in the other room with the dog
I need to go to them
But unfortunately
Reality clarified my thoughts
It was but a dream
A wish
A hope
My heart’s desire
To have you here with me
Yet you were not
A chuckle of sadness escapes me
I return to my pillow to find the comfort I was seeking in you
Pray I will drift back into the dream where you reside
Close my eyes
Calling forward an image of you
Longing for the next time I search for you near by and find you here with me
