***

I walk in the door after my double shift, my body beyond exhausted. I can't wait to take a shower and become one with my bed. I want to slip into the realm of my dreams. I want to forget about the violence and visceral images of my job, and replace them with thoughts of you. When I close my eyes and fall into slumber, anything is possible. I can dream about you-----your face, so perfect, chisled just right, and your eyes, a shade that reminds me of molten dark chocolate. I can dream that those eyes burn into mine, full of wonder and delight, want and desire, as I lean forward to let my lips brush yours. I can dream of the softness of those lips, slightly moist, parting gently to let my tongue inside. I can dream of your sighs, your breath, the way your arms encircle my neck and pull me closer to you. I can dream of the heat of your body, the warmth of your skin as it presses sweetly against mine. I can dream of never-ending kisses, of words whispered in my ear, telling me what you need, want and desire. I can dream about making love to you, slowly, exploring your body with my mouth, my teeth, my tongue and my hands. I can dream of reaching my climax with you, hearing your cries and your litany of blissed-out murmurings. I can dream of us as we lie together, tangled bodies sated and drowsy, my face buried in your neck, breathing in the moment and you. But as the sun slips over the horizon, I wake up and realize that I am still alone. You are not here beside me. Reality comes crashing into me, and the sadness of unrequited love drowns me. I wish I could tell you how I feel, but somehow I just don't think you could return my feelings. I have loved you for far longer than you could ever imagine. So when you see me sitting in my lab and it looks like I'm zoning out, I'm really just in my own personal dream-land. The one place where everything is perfect, and the place where you love me. So Nick, if it ever seems like my mind isn't focused on the task at hand, its only because its focused on you.
