NY state of mind #2

she feels the earth sigh beneath her feet and she know how it feels. a light breeze cools itself against her legs and she remembers his touch. she misses his weight against her and the way she could see the words on his lips instead of just hearing them. the way he sleeps with his arms tight around her as if he were warding off her attempted escape. but she knew he knew she never would run. he needed her close and she needed him closer. but she never told him this. she wanted to be strong for him but it was difficult for her. the sound of his footsteps brought her comfort and the way he sometimes said her name twice as if it were the singular form. she sees him everywhere but he is nowhere. he is in her mind and she's not sure if that is a good thing or something that she can't quite handle. she feels the breeze and it is not him.
