[bodytext] => Here... The sweet aroma of Vanilla and Cinnamon The warm embrace of daylight as it creeps through the blinds The crackling sound of that honey-cured ham dancing in the pan... Awake Here... In the place we call home Laying in a sea of cotton Beside the imprint you left behind I glide my hand across it... Still warm I hear the faucet downstairs Your slippers are gone Where do mine reside? (Dinner. Late Night. Movie? You fell asleep) (I carried you up the stairs, ignoring the cold sting of the tile floor) (As you whispered, "Don't forget the dishes.") (I smiled as I laid you down to sleep) (Beside you...) The couch They lay beside the couch -- My slippers Forced to brave the cold I venture out Following the distant sound of you humming that song you love so much What was it? The song you sang that night... (As we left that Karaoke Bar) (You whispered it to me as we sat tangled in the back seat of the taxi) (Towards your apartment) (You rode with me through the night) (As the STOP signs passed us by) (We danced...) The refrigerator door closes As I make my way down the stairs Blinded... By the Sun's glare I find you Pouring liquid sunshine into my half-empty glass You look up at me and smile And that's all I need That's all I've ever needed To feel... You share your warmth with me as I wrap my arms around you I treasure this moment This feeling I shall never let escape It's all I have left Because the truth is... You're not here You're there... With HIM.
