A Hundred Miles Away

You fell asleep next to me
and I take in each breath you take
as you lay silently dreaming.
I wish I could know your dreams.
What is being created
in that beautiful mind of yours.
you are almost a hundred miles away
but tonight you feel inches away.
So close I can feel your warmth
and hear the deep breaths you take every so often.
I want nothing more than
for you to be next to me as we both dream.
Dreams that take us together
to a place neither of us are familiar with.

I type quietly,
for I want not to wake you
from this peaceful sleep.
I thought for a long time
how I no longer believed.
Believed I could write.
Believed I could find someone
as perfect as you.
