Night After Ecsatsy

I stand in envy of the blankets clinging to your form
as I gazed down at you.  I give into my yearning and slip in next to you,
induging myself with a final embrace.  My arms encircle you and my hands
rejoice at the touch of you.  I lay for a moment, trying to press as much
of my skin to yours as I can.  As if by so doing I can somehow keep your essence with me when I leave, when all I want to do is stay.  I linger for a few precious seconds more, basking in the wwarmth of you, of my feelings for 
you.  I kiss your neck and nuzzle you through your hair to steel myself for the will to rise.  I quickly gather my things and hasten from the emptiness that
has welled inside. I toil and trudge through my day, paying as little attention
as possible to he longing that wracks my chest.  The terrible absence of that 
part of me that still lies with you.  

What is it the missing of which I feel so strongly?  It's you my beautiful baby.
You are a part of me now.  Thank you so much for you Katherine, for the wonder of who you are.  Thank you for you beautiful words and your beautiful heart.
Thank you for not making me regret letting you inside.  Thank you for the pain
of missing you. I love you sweetie.  Just know that until I have you in my arms
again, muc my of my heart lies beating at your feet where I left it.  Happy New 
Year baby!
