It's 11 a.m. as I lay awake next to you, watching you sleep so deep, so peaceful. I want to wrap you in my arms and smother you with kisses, but instead I lay here, very quietly and very still so not to wake you. Your face seems so serene, I can't help but notice what or who you are seeing in your dream. My mind runs wild with thoughts of you, thoughts of last night, and how perfect that passionate night was.... Then later, you falling asleep with your arms wrapped around me and my head on your chest. Only a sheet to cover us, but your skin against mine was so warm, we didn't need anything else. I laid there listening to your heart beat, watching your chest move in and out whith every breath you'd take. I had this crazy thought that if I fell asleep I would wake up and my dream would be over, you would be gone. And if I could only stay awake, this night would last forever. The harder I tried to stay awake the harder it became. I see now, that my thought of making the night last forever was silly. I can't stop the morning from coming, the sun will shine no matter what and the world will keep turning, as others will go about their day. But for now, as I lay here next to you, I can dream. |
