the void

i miss little things like:
holding hands
the way a man's arm feels across my shoulders
or a hand possessively in the small of my back
watching a man work on a problem
with his tongue sticking out
half closed eyes full of desire
snuggling during a scary movie or thunderstorms
a man's chest
laying at night in the yard looking at the stars
talking, sharing, middle of the night whispers
of soul baring conversations
a man's cologne that lingers on my skin and pillow
dancing and anticipating each others moves
a smile that is generated when i walk in the room
arms that encircle me as i do the dishes
helping hands preparing dinner, or breakfast
a man to do the guy things like changing a tire
the heat from a body next to me at night
and listening to him breathe
doors being held open for me
and chairs pulled out at the table
rubbing bare feet under the table or the cover in bed
a man's deep voice and laugh
a good morning kiss
a glad you are home with me now kiss
a goodnight sleep well with beautiful dreams kiss
and, i miss the fact that i am not growing old
with a man that loves me
just growing old alone
