DAYS WITHOUT YOU III

(11)

The days without you are getting easier to take.

Absence makes the heart grow weaker

or something like that.

The days are fine.

The nights�

Well, that's another story.

I can't seem to sleep without you.

Not for long.

Not well.

I think it's the rhythm of your breathing

giving me something to focus on.

I think it's your body

shielding me from the light

of the digital clock display.

It might be the warm milk you make me

when I'm not sleepy.

I don't know.

I don't know�

I do know, though,

that I don't think I'll be able to rest easy

until you get back.
