Musings of a Lonely Soulmate

As if feeling my loneliness tonight,

Your soul burrows in next to mine. 

I wonder if it senses my craving for your presence or,

If I unconsciously pull it to me 

with the tether that binds us.

Do you feel it leave, as I do mine,

When it traipses off to sit by your side? 

I am comforted by the feeling 

Of warmth that surrounds me,

When your soul is here.

Those are the nights I know that 

 no shadows will enter my dreams.

Snuggling your shirt more closely around me, 

I softly run my fingers across the fabric,

 wishing softly it was your skin.

I lie here idly wondering if my warmth transfers to you through our connection,

If our tether comforts you as it often does me.

It has been my lifeline on nights 

I wanted nothing more than 

to cradle you close to me until you fell asleep. 

Whispering "I love you" in my mind and hoping it will reach across the miles, 

I close my eyes, pull your soul closer,

 and wish for sleep.
