Love Poem: The Last Night

The Last Night

I'll hold you tighter tonight 
because this could be the last time 
that I will awake to find you here 
to touch your face and hold you near 

I'll stay awake and make the most 
of the time you are hear and laying close 
your touch, your smell, the warmth of your skin 
and hold my doubts deep within 

You stir from your slumber
and brush my cheek 
but I know your touch is an act of sleep 
and that soon your body will follow your mind 
and be lost to me, impossible to find 

All too soon, 
Morning rears it's head 
and I am left alone 
no one to keep these feelings at bay 
the sheets entwine me 
but leave me 
cold
