Outside the white world silently slips in as snow gently falls and frost freezes over. Night descends, but the lamp posts stand unfazed with their orbs of old light and the cold viciously cuts through air without a trace of sound.
I shiver quietly in my covers. But your breathing next to me calms me down, minute by minute as time melts between us in our heat. Snuggling into your embrace, dreams trickle in slowly till they wash over me. And in your arms I can't help but feel safe, a blissful happiness, a warmth that radiates from both our hearts. I sigh in comfort and sink into you.
The bed is empty, cold.
And I find you gone.
