“Goodnight Love”

Posted on August 17, 2015August 9, 2017 by Penny Wilson Writes

My mind and body are looking for solace. I lie on those crisp white sheets. My mind drifts to thoughts of you and I smile.

You are never far from my thoughts. Your whispers of love on the phone are reassuring but little compensation for the touch of your lips.

I look at the stars through the bedroom window. I try to picture you across the miles.

I close my eyes. Your face drifts into view. I smell your skin and feel your fingertips on my cheek.

As sleep carries me away, I feel your lips on my brow and your whispered “goodnight love”.
