Heated, I lie in wait for you.

I seek solace in the night, but fear steals my breath.
I seek comfort in your photo, but tears burn my eyes.
I seek relief in my memories, but drugs cloud my mind.

As I lay without breath
as I lay without sight
as I lay without thought
as I lay without you.

I can only dream your touch
caressing...
endless...
filled with the joy,
and the love,
and the boundless pleasure that made me whole.

Heated, I lie in wait for you.

But you do not come
and I am incomplete.
I drink in my memories of you
and I become dizzy

and I wait.
