after the party

my semester comes to a close
and i mark a few endings at once.
in cold days my friends came to me,
i shared warm heartfelt days with them.

i sulked in my bed after the party
when i learned you would be leaving soon.
months of thinking of you, cities away,
three short days had come and gone.

i sulked in my bed and you came in
put your arm over me and i pulled in close
my head on your chest, hand on my face
you gave comfort to sad and sleepy me

in these short dark hours of the evening
brief and fleeting moments like winter sun
i cherish them until your alarm goes off.
but i know that i will see you again.

you are my friend and i miss you dearly.
come back to me and hold me like you did.
