Author's Note: Well, this came to me about 20 minutes ago as I was trying to fall asleep…it's set along the same lines as “Soul”, “Imagine”, & “...I Love You…” - so if you like those, you might like this. Anyways - I'm apologizing now for any grammatical mistakes (I've never used a beta) or if anything seems a bit wonky (hehe), it's 1 a.m. and I'm impatient. I'll read through it again sometimes later this morning - make changes if need be.

So please enjoy and leave a review, constructive criticism, flames, and anything else that might tempt you:D

-Sarah

PS - if you have read any of the aforementioned works by yours truly (laughs), perhaps you will have learned that all these blurbs have something in common…they are all my thoughts on my own life *cackles manically*

Alone.

I wonder.

As I lie here in my bed, I wonder if someday you will lie beside me.

If I will feel the gentle beat of your heart in harmony with mine.

I wonder if I will ever hear a sigh of contentment pass through your lips as you turn in your sleep.

If we will one day be at peace with the world, together.

I wonder if my hand will ever be yours. If you will caress my skin like the whispered words of love I long to hear.

If you will bring me to the edge of all sense and reason and fall into an abyss of ecstasy at my side.

And then I turn and remember that I am the only one in this bed.

I wonder if I will always be alone. Alone as I am today; as I was yesterday; as I will be tomorrow.

Alone in this room.

Alone in this bed.

Alone with my thoughts.

Alone with my tears, my dreams, my fantasies, my heartaches, my failures…

I wonder if I will be forever alone.
