Sonnet Revision #1

Life without You

The first streaks of light peek through my curtains.
I lie in bed, despondent for the day ahead.
I choose to dream of times we spent together.
When will you return?  How long will you stay
This time? Our nights are getting briefer
As the days without you elongate.
I close my eyes and allow you to flood
Over my thoughts, till the world becomes still. 
  

I cannot wait for your presence anymore.  
I must move on and live this day without you. 
With reluctance, I open my eyes and rise
Out of bed, knowing our time was short-lived.
But throughout the day, I think of you
Please come back in my life, my precious sleep.
