In the dark I wake from slumber,
to watch you sleeping sound.
and I think I am a cumber,
to peace that you have found.
I tug the quilt that neatly wound,
about our legs and feet.
I smooth a pillow, soft and round,
to place beneath your head so neat.
I hold you close under the sheet,
and dream of future life.
A future filled with passions heat,
as you are now my wife.
A fleeting thought begins to billow,
I may rather smother you with a pillow.

>That was a bad idea. I thought you knew… >Oh, the pathos! I don’t really know you as well as I should. In fact, I may not know the real you at all. That essential, sparkling you that you only reveal to a select few. Had I been paying more attention to the stories you are so fond of telling, in which you are invariably author, narrator and protagonist, I would not have been so foolish as to set you up on a blind date. After all, no friend has ever done anything of the kind for another. That’s preposterous. What is a friend, really?
