I awoke and touched a hand to my cheek
Received a reminder of just how weak
I've grown over the last few days
When I felt the tears rolling down my face
I supposed that you were in my dreams
Your smell is lingering here, it seems
Though I know it's impossible for you to be near
Each morning I wake with the hope you'll be here
But as soon as I open my drying eyes
Tears well up once more as I realise
Through the roseate, orange, dawn
I'm the only one who hasn't gone
With a pleading glance at the tightly shut door
I rest my head on the pillow once more
And let my emotions have their way
Sobbing for the pain to go away
