Whispers in the Dark

At night I lie in bed waiting,
holding my breath,
imagining the soft creak of the door
and the light fall of footsteps on the stairs
Waiting for him to slip silently beneath the covers,
to feel his warm breath in my ear
as he enfolds me gently into his arms
My lips eagerly swallowing his kisses
(he kisses them as they've never been kissed)
Telling me it will be allright,
taking away the ache and filling the void of my heart
Watching over me as I drift into a peaceful slumber,
secured by his presence, knowing he'll be there still when I wake.....

But when I wake I always seem to find one dog licking my face
while the other is panting in my ear
Instead of him..........

*sigh*
