I lay, this man by my side...
Tears role down my face...
But it's not because I'm upset...
And it's not because he's hurt me...
Rather, it's because of the way he loves me...
It just brings me to tears...
I watch his eyelashes flutter...
As he lays asleep...
The hair on his face feels like little needles under my hand...
Yet, it soothes my soul to stroke his face this way...
His face shifts and he leans his head into my hand...
I kiss him...
A smile creeps across his face....
His dream continues...
I turn away from him...
And wipe my tears...
I lay my head on the pillow beside him...
I feel cold and shiver...
He senses that I need him to keep me warm...
And pulls me close and holds me tight...
His muscular frame wraps around my body...
I feel his heartbeat against my back...
Soon we will dream together... |
