Cool Cotton Sheets

Noiseless footsteps, a constant pace,
Remember the staircase, this is the place.
Twenty feet forward, take a quick right,
Dreamt about you all last night.

Silencing carpet, muffled steps
Sifting through memories I kept.
Open your door, empty again
Hating this spot, missing my friend.

Sit on the floor, visit my mind
A specific moment I’m trying to find.
Slid your necklace over my head,
That’s the night I spent in your bed.

Saw your smile between the sheets;
Gentle kisses, entangled feet.
Warm breath on my neck, your cheek
Eyes talk for you, no need to speak.

I remember the sunshine, singing birds
Gentle fall breeze, your faded words.
Holding your hand, not a single care,
I love you and our secret lair.

My happy place, where I want to be
Me and you beneath tangled sheets.
