My lonely bed beckons,
My heart -- a tired sigh,
I try to avoid this moment,
but no matter how I try...

There's too many extra pillows,
and blankets I have to spare,
but no soft arms or gentle touch,
Warm breath along my hair

You've truly spoiled me dear,
Wrapped within your embrace.
I used to like to sleep alone,
Now...  its all an empty space

Its not your bed, its not my right,
to wish for things not shared.
I lie alone within my thoughts,
Memories I've got to spare.

When you've been with me,
I bring your pillow in close,
the scent of you it lingers there,
the smell I crave the most.

Close my eyes to oblivion,
but will not shed a tear,
In my dreams I smile with joy,
I always hold you there.
