When Last We Met

I have claimed you
Your sparkly eyes
Your toothy smile
Your rough shorn hair
Your warm body against mine.

You didn’t know
I took you home that night
And sleep wouldn’t come
In the muggy air of dawn.
At work in midday
I long for my bed
To find the sleep I lost.
But you are there
Disturbing me in restive slumber.

I’d like to return you
Along with the borrowed dreams
But how do I rub off from my skin
The memory of when last we met?
