chill

when i'm in my thoughts
and i am tired but my eyes are not drifting
i lay on my side, and imagine you there next to me
your curled hair brushing my neck
arms cascading over me
hands holding my waist
i can feel your thumb going in circles on my side
you remind me of honey
your breathing a low hum
and the steady sound of my heart resting
i imagine you holding me like you'll never let go
the chill from the open window wakes me
and i am all alone
hanging on to the memories of where you used to be
