Every night I wait to sleep

I close my eyes to my room

And open them to find you



And I get this feeling at night

Where I am floating, and warm

But you don’t need to touch me



Every night I wait to sleep

Every morning bright lights pull

Me away from your dark face



And I sit up and say,

“It was just a dream”

No, it was everything inside me



My heart beats so slowly now

Recovering from the shock

Of long nights in your bed



Those nights I couldn’t sleep

I wouldn’t sleep for anyone

But you and your eyes



Your fingers

Your freckles on

Your cheeks



That icy stare that rips

Me apart.  It reminds me that

I shouldn’t get too close



Oh there are so many ways

You draw me in close

And steal the little warmth I hold



And it’s then that I relax my shoulders

I push one hip to the side

And stare right into your eyes



And as I am staring I can’t think

Of anything or anyone but you

And your eyes



Your fingers

Your freckles on

Your cheeks



I know that you are mine

Because you chose to be

Because you want to make me happy



So when I awake I am rested

I’ll leave you for another day

And know that in my dreams you’ll wait
