darling

you sleep beside me, soundly unaware of me.

your face wiped clean of any emotion.

each night i wonder how much longer it will last.

how much longer i'll see your cheerful face each morning,

or feel your warm kiss on my lips.

how much longer do i have to tell you that i love you each day.

looking over at your straight face, lost in your dream world,

i wonder what you think of me, how much you love me back.

i love your short brown hair that graces your face.

i love your arms that protect me when i feel so helpless, so weak.

i love your charming yet cautious personality that portrays you.

i love your steel-blue eyes that remind me of the summer night sky.

oh, how hopeful i am, as i wish that it would last forever,

how it would never fade and die like a beautiful rose does.

so i lay next to you, and brush the hair out of your closed eyes,

i feel myself drugged by your beauty, and i slip-off into that dream world, where nothing ends...
