The sheets are white, perfectly wrinkled. They’ll never not be perfectly wrinkled.
They’re where we love on one another, where I bare myself to you. Where we dream, and rest, and cry.
What once seemed so simple and boring now makes my eyes sting.
I imagine, sort of a nightmare scenario in which you’re suddenly gone and all I can do is lay in these perfectly imperfect wrinkled sheets and inhale, desperately trying to smell you.
Don’t ever leave.
I may never sleep again.
