Love Poem: A Linen Universe

A Linen Universe

Today we can get lost in my bed.
We can build a fortress of pillows and sheets.
Today we can think up whole worlds beneath my blankets,
Worlds with people who have lives that I cannot yet imagine.
Maybe if we get lost there we might find someone I could be.
Then when we leave, 
Maybe,
If we leave,
It will no longer be pretend.
