WAKE UP!
Opening my eyes panic rushes over me
Before I can catch my breath I see you
You're laying there, sleeping, without a care in the world
It was just a dream, you're still here
But I'm left with this uneasy feeling
I know soon you have to go
Laying next to you is so comforting, it's safe
I won't take my eyes off of you
I'm afraid if I do you'll disappear
Watching you is peaceful
I find myself smiling so easily
You are like a breath of fresh air
I can't help but breathe you in and be entranced
I place my hand upon your chest
I can feel your heartbeat drumming against my finger tips
I lay back down your heart playing music in my mind
The warmth of you, the sound of you breathing, the feeling of your heart beating
It lulls me back to sleep
I wake up with you still fresh in my mind
Beaming from ear to ear I lean over to kiss you
But....now...you're gone

- Comment from author about the poem: My husband is in the armed forces. One day, before one of his deployments, I woke up and saw him lying there. I knew that the upcoming deployment was going to be harder this time and I found myself writing this down.
