Writes..."Leaving In The Darkness"

"my hand reached out for her as the sleep began to dissipate and i became more aware of the reality that was my life. she was gone and that was as real as it got. no note, no good-bye, no kiss to signify she was leaving. but i wasn't surprised, i never expected to spend the night as it was, though i had hoped she might. actually, i never expected anything of us, especially not for her and i to be in this position. i knew there was an attraction between us, a kind of magnetic pull that had drawn us to one another. but i never thought it would lead us to where we are today. me, naked in my bed and wishing she hadn't left me during the night. but like i said, this is my reality. we share a passion that we had only imagined and have experienced things we never had before. the feel of her was unlike any other, me in her, her on me. her cries of ecstasy linger, i can still hear her though i lay in silence. her look of love burned seared into my brain, i can still see her in the darkness around me. giving everything of ourselves and taking all that was offered to us, i'll never forget what we are when we're together in the middle of the night. lovers loving love. and then she's gone. and i'm alone, reaching out for warmth from the spot she had just occupied. and hoping sleep will take hold of me again and i can defer reality until the next time i see her."
