At Night

It is 10:30
Time to head for bed
What a long day
But at least its Friday
No plans with my friends
I just want to sleep
Tonight, like every other night
I have a date with you

I gaze in the mirror
Washing my face
Brushing my teeth
Looking at my own reflection
Thinking to myself
What does he see in me
Why does he love me

Closing my eyes, pondering to myself
Why am I questioning love
I don't need a reason
I don't need proof
I love this man
He makes me complete
Love has given me life
Taught me how to fly
Given me a reason to live
A reason to smile

Slowly I change
Jeans to nothing
Nothing to draw-string
Fitted sweater to bra
Bra to flesh
Flesh to tank-top
Climbing slowly into bed

Between the covers
Pillows behind me
I finally begin to rest
To relax my mind
I stare off into the distance
In the direction of "us"
"Us" being the picture of you and I
Sitting on the table, framed
I miss you
Do you miss me

Hours into the night
Sleep finally overcomes me
It is time for our date
It is time for my dreams
Dreams full of pleasure
Happiness and love
Dreams about you, and your loving me

I can't wait for reality
To sleep beside you
Instead of meeting you in my sleep
Waking up near you
Instead of reaching for my teddy-bear
The teddy-bear you gave me
The teddy-bear the smells like you

So goodnight sweet man
Sweet dreams my love
I will see you soon
In my dreams
In my heart
I will meet you there
