Blessed

As I lay here,
Naked and nuzzled up in the warmth of a blanket that your scent lingers on,
I think.
I remind myself that I am blessed, that I am whole with you, and that you
are my One and Only.
The bed feels bigger, the walls are caving in-
yet I do not shake.
I don't shake because I know, you will return.
I know that no matter the distance, the miles, or the time-
We are one.

Our travels may cross paths, but in the end-
You will come home.
The the warmth of my arms, the beating of my heart.

This heart hibernates while you are gone,
My body goes into Auto Pilot,
yet the mind races and races.

I am blessed.
I am blessed for your love, and your efforts to make our life something grand.
I am blessed for the things that I have, and the everyday things I take for granted.
I am blessed each morning that I wake up next to you, and I am blessed when you are gone, because I
know that you are doing this for us.

I shall close these eyes soon, and
drift to a land of Windmills and Waterfalls
like I do each time.
Let's meet.
Underneath the waterfall this time,
close to the edge so our faces get wet, as we cry tears of joy
for being reunited.

I am blessed.
