Love Called

In the middle of the night, in a half-asleep state

Love called

Caressed my face

Kissed my earlobes

And woke me up

Spoke about love, hope, and loss

Of the times we danced, laughed, and fought

Then whispered in my ears –

“I am with you, always.”

I sighed

I smiled

I slept                                                                                                      

Love kept making noises
