A Lonely Pillow

When you pull the comforter back and snuggle underneath the sheets, at some point you turn over to see that unused pillow in need of a head to rest on it. You’ve thought often about the day you’d turn over and see the man/woman you’ve dreamed about, prayed for, or imagined laying next to you. You know that he/she is out there, waiting. You know that anyone can sleep on the pillow, but you need for a special one to rest on it. For the moment, you can only pull that lonely pillow close to your body and hold it tight.
