Fleece Bed-Sheets
Soft, warm fleece fabric checkered red and green color.
The winter bed-sheets of my single life were put on the bed, my love.
For how long I hadn’t spread them?
When we slept together the warmth of your body was enough to keep next to you, with no need for them, like a cat purring of happiness.
Now the bed is too big and cold.
You aren’t next to me and the sweet sensation of the fleece fabric is the only thing that can keep me warm during the cold winter nights.
I remember the first time you spent in my house.
I was a single woman and in the bed I had these two fleece bed-sheets.
When we embrace for the first time and felt the sweat of our lust the sheets were drenched in our love.
The next morning when you kissed me before you left for work you asked me to change them into the linen sheets because the night before you were too hot.
Last night I went to bed in those fleece sheets after a long time I discovered something of our smell has remained in the fabric.
