I Lay Awake at Night

I lay awake at night thinking about my love.
Picturing her valumptuous lips caressing mine.
Her beautiful brown eyes hypnotizing me into loving her
even more than I already do.
Thinking of how the glare from the moon hits her hair as we sit
together on a moonlit night.
Thinking of her soft and gentle hand interlocked with mine,
as we walk together.
Picturing the way she laughs when I amuse her.
About how she makes me feel like I am the only one.
Loving the way she stares into my eyes, showing me how much she cares.

Laying there at night wishing she was right next to me, to hold and love
her the way she should be.
Counting the minutes and hours of when I will be able to see my princess again.
Thinking about how my heart races whenever I am in her presence.
Thinking of how I want to give her my undivided attention, listening to her
the way that she listens to me.
Wanting to give her what she has given to me and more, the joy, the love, but it still doesn't seem like it is enough.

Trying to close my eyes but this beautiful angel keeps appearing.
Thinking about the sweet dreams that I will have of her, they get sweeter and sweeter each night.
Thinking about you is all I can do when I lay in bed at night.
