2am

by Marian

It's 2am, sleep escapes me. My eyes' close and there she is. It happens every time, no matter where I am, she appears, looking like an angel with a smile that melts my heart.

This angel appears in my dreams. She wraps a warm blanket of love around me. She brings life back to me, where life hasn't existed for years.

To feel her warm embrace and see her sparkling eyes. To hold and feel her body next to mine. To kiss her sweet lips. To lose myself in her long flowing golden hair. I long to tell her. . . . no, I long to show her how I feel.

It's 2am, sleep escapes me. My eyes' close and there he is. It happens every time, no matter where I, am he appears. He is so handsome, with his smiling eyes and that smile that melts my heart.

He appears in my dreams, wraping a warm blanket of love around me. With his strong arms he brings me comfort. He reassures me that everything will be alright. He awakens my lonely heart with his love.

To feel his strong embrace and see his sparking eyes. To feel his body next to mine. To lose myself in his kiss. I long to show him how much I feel.

It's 2am, sleep escapes them. No longer can they lie awake. He gets up and heads for the door. His feet have taken control. He steps out and heads toward The Clarion.

She gets up and heads for the door. Her feet have taken control. She steps out and heads for The Rooming House.

They stop. See each other and embrace. They see the longing in each others eyes. She takes his hand and leds him back inside The Clarion.

THE END
