In Sleep

It hurts to breathe
without you
To remember my breath in
sync with yours
on those late nights
whne you'd sleep and
I'd lay watching
the peace on your face,
the rise and fall of
your chest,
the way you'd flinch
every now and then...
God, I thought you were
everything...
I wondered what you dreamt
behind those eyes
and hoped that I was
somewhere in it-
even for a moment.
You were in my dreams
you were my dream
the only one to come true
the only one I never wanted
to wake from...
