Hear poem read

In the cold, blue light of dawn, pinpricked by planets and stars, I lay awake and think of you; you lying home alone,sleeping, dreaming,waiting for the sun, or the electric clock buzz to start you on another day. I miss you at this time more than any other; I miss the softness of you breathing beside me, your sweet face drowned in sleep, your soft fragrant hair draped over the pillow. I miss not being able to lean down and gently kiss your forehead. I miss staring at you, long and long, thinking of how much you have come to mean to me, how much I really love you. And how in this quick quiet moment before the world wakes us, and we drown, I could never forget this day, this single moment in our lives when nothing else mattered but us, and how happy we were, with the rain coming down, or how magnificently beautiful you were, and how proud and happy I felt just being by your side.
