Christmas - Just Another Day

7:30am, awoken with the sudden
realization that:
It's Christmas Morning!
I dash to the living room,
Tons of presents, 
with my name on them.
But,
None of them big enough 
to hold you inside.

I return to my room and
go back to sleep so I can dream 
of you being here with me.

And my presents remain 
unopened, 
under the Christmas tree.
