Last Thing I Remember

Six months ago tonight...we spent our last night together.

No idea how we fell asleep...but it was late.  

Talking...laughing...touching...under the sheets.    

Maybe she drifted first...or perhaps it was me.  

But the last thing I remember was being in love...

So content to be interwoven...legs tangled...arms encircled...lips whispering...

Waking was easy for the last time.

Dreaming as my eyes opened and floated to her face.

Stroking her hair and caressing her cheek as I stared.

But the last thing I remember was feeling blessed...

So thankful to be connected...minds linked...souls shared...hearts adoring....

Dressed I unknowingly said my final goodbye.

Slipping out of sleep as I kissed her brow.

Raising her arm for one last kiss.

But the last thing I remember is walking down the stairs a lucky man...

So grateful to be together...hopes shared...dreams planned...futures waiting...
