Cool Night

Not bad, kind of cool outside
Just got in from a long ride
Set up the bed, ready to lay it down
Missing her touch, I kind of frown
I’m in the bed, got the fan on low
Under my sheet almost right to sleep I go
Late in the night, chilly
A dream I don’t remember, but it’s silly
Cold chill sets in
Like I’m outside in the wind
I awake with a shiver
I need relief only warm arms can deliver
I get up, into the closet and grab a bigger cover
Throw it on and dive right under
It’s no longer a cool night
The warmth of her arms made it right
Or maybe the covers over me?
Nah, her arms in my dream
