Wake Up Call

I lay here not wanting to get up when I hear a voice. "Get up or you'll be late." It says, it sounds like the voice of an angel. I fell soft gentle hands massage my shoulders and back. I smile as the gentle hands continue their work. "You're really tense. Just relax." It says again in that angelic voice. It stops massaging me. "If you want it to continue wake up." It says teasing me, taunting me. I roll over and open my eyes, but I see no one. As the realization washes over me I silently mourn. I know that voice it belongs to her, Lily. I lay here wishing that it were only a dream, I close my eyes hoping that when I open them I will see her face smiling down at me. I open my eyes and see no one. I get up and get ready for another day of teaching, another day of wishing she were here with me.
