My bed still smells like you
As if your toothbrush wasn't enough reminder, the faint smell of your skin lingers
Awakening memories of better times
Times when our deepest intimacy was a shared laugh
And oh, how you laughed
Deep and long
As if you'd never hear another thing funnier
So you held on to that moment
And I chuckled as my eyes rolled
I let you savor that moment
I wriggled under your arm, breathing along with your heartbeat
After a while, I'd realize we weren't watching the same show
Your eyes had been fixed on the TV's reflection in mine
Tracing the creases along their corners
Kissing my head gently
Pulling me even closer
Your chest the most secure place I've laid my head
