the moonlight
I slip under the covers nude. It is a cool night, but the house is still warm from the abuse it took from the sun earlier today. I turn the fan on and leave the bathroom window open to allow the fresh air in. The moon is brightly lit tonight, so I decide to leave the bathroom door open, allowing it’s soft glow to reach me in my bed.
There I am, completely nude… basking in the soft glow of the moon. It is comforting. I lay on my right side, facing the moon’s light. I close my eyes and imagine it’s soft glow caressing my face, much like you do.
With eyes closed, I slow my breathing and reach out to you mentally. I listen for your breathing next to me. I can feel the rise and the fall of the sheet with each breath you take… barely. My ears strain to hear each breath as it escapes your body.
My nose searches the air for your scent. The scent that only you can produce. It is useless, the fan is blowing all sent away from me.
I open the pores of my skin and feel you. I remain where I am, but I send my body out to you. I search for your familiar presence. I can almost feel your body just inches away from me. I can feel the comfort that it brings me, knowing that you are there beside me throughout the night. Knowing that if I turned over I would see you there, gently sleeping. If I wanted to, I could snuggle up beside you and you would wrap your arm around me in your sleep and place a kiss on my forhead. I would kiss your chest and run my fingers along it, briefly stimulating your nipples. I sigh. I can almost feel you there … so I turn over to face you.
But you are not there …
And so, I turn to face the moonlight once more. She will, once again, be my comfort throughout the night. I bask in her soft glow. I allow her to wrap around my body and carry me into my sleep. Within her protection I shall sleep … until the sun takes her place and another day begins.. In hopes that it will be more than the moonlight that sends me to sleep for yet another night. …
