To Love and Be Loved

I do not know what it feels like 

to love and be loved by another 

but when I imagine what it must be like 

a moment flashes in my mind 

to when you're sharing a bed 

and someone gets up 

in the middle of the night. 

 

The person now awake 

is not mad, whether it be me or them,

because once the other gets back in bed 

regardless of whatever dream they were floating in

they're waiting to pull their lover close, kiss their back 

and whisper how much happier they are

to be awake with them.
