*~*~*~*~*

My hand is shaking as I pull the curtain back. His head is wrapped in gauze, the plastic tubes... No, this isn’t my Trip. Is it? My hand brushes against his cheek; stubble scratches against my palm.

Wake up! Please!

I want...no...I need to see those twinkling eyes, full of humor and love, gazing blue at me. To feel your soft lips on my ear, sighing, the way you always do when... I squeeze my eyes shut. Open again, blurriness smothers them. I look down at him.

What is that on the gauze? A drop of water? From where? Tears rush down my cheek, growing cold.

My finger runs down the length of his exquisite nose. I marvel at the silky hairs in his eyebrows. I caress his soft lips, and bend my head to gently, so very gently, skim mine against them. As my eyes come up to him, I whisper, Trip, my Trip. My dearest. I love you. I need you. Wake up so we can laugh again...talk again...touch again.

Don’t be gone long, love. I’ll be waiting.
