Lone Wolf
I lay waiting for dreams to fill my head and wash away the stresses of the day.
I close my eyes and you appear there lying next to me. I feel the warmth of your close embrace.
I feel the soft fur on your body pressed up against mine.
The white patches of your fur reflect the moonlight, a light keeping me out of darkness.
I feel your warm breaths on my face, your muzzle laying upon mine.
Silence
The only sounds are of the trees swaying in the wind and our breathing.
Everything is peaceful.
I open my eyes to darkness. I shiver in the cold air, staring at the spot where you were laying only seconds ago.
An impossible dream.
