Her eyes. Opening. Slowly. But, still. They are opening.
Sit up. Take a look around, won't you? Remember where you are. Remember who you are.
Blink. Squint, you'll get used to the light. Is it becoming clearer?
Stretch. Get comfortable again. Get to know this place again. This place you knew so well. You know so well. It's really all you've got.
Read. Here, take a taste. You remember now. You remember how delicious this is, don't you? You do. I just know you do.
Patience. I am patient. You know I love you, and miss you. Won't you stay this time? Come, come stay, and don't close your eyes anymore.
Smile. She is waking up.
I am. I am waking up. Slowly. But I am.
