I lie awake
Listening to the rain falling,
Hearing the soft rumble of a distant thunder.
Watching through the window I see lightning flash.
The rain dancing on the window.
Then I look at you,
Your head on my chest,
Your arms around me,
A smile on your face as you dream.

I stroke your hair softly.
I stare while you sleep feeling every breath you take.
 

The thunder is closer now.
You stir slightly.
The wind is stronger.
The thunder roars loudly,
Lightning flashing brilliantly in the night.
You wake with a start and tremble.
I pull you close as the wind rocks our home.

Suddenly in a flash and the sound of your cry,
The vision is shattered.
In a start I wake, sweaty and shaken.
You are no where to be found.
My mind snaps back.

You are so far away,
I look to the window
The rain softly dances on the glass,
I lay back,
tears fall.
I think of you,
hold you close in my mind.
And dream of the day
When we are together forever.
