Its when I see you sound asleep
That I berate myself
You are so calm, at peace and deep
inside another realm
I’m lonely with your heart right there
Beating by my side
Somewhere away, your soul drifts out
Without me into night
So when I wake you, tickling toes
tugging on your ear
Bugging you to look at me, please know it’s just I fear
That you will leave me one day
Not to dream but live away
With someone else in mind
And in the panic I just need
Your eyes to fix on mine
You are sorely mistaken
I rarely dream at all,
For what would I dream
When my days are filled with joy
With knowing your touch and voice.
Once in a blue mood
I’ll dream I’m better for you
A knight with real armour
Instead of this cardboard cavalry.
And if my soul does wander
As you fear it may,
I promise it’s towards you
Not away.
When you wake and tremble,
It’s the bit of me drifted in to you
Aching to see the bit of you drifted into me.
And the open window only blows gently
It provides no escape,
Though I may roam
It’s not far,
I never leave the sheets.
