pleasant dreams....

Lying still
here in the darkness
holding you
listening to your light snore
feeling your heartbeat
against my breast
Inhaling
and exhaling
I got you
Tomorrow
is another day
It will get better
Stop
worrying so much
Can you feel me
playing in your ear
I see you frowning often
When I shift, you wake up
I'm right here
I'm not going anywhere
Go back to sleep
It's times like these
when I feel most alone
Your body is cool now
but, moments ago
when we were in the heat of passion
something was different
When you gave yourself to me
I could tell
you held back
You kept some for yourself
Afterwards
you crawled into my arms
and fell asleep
That's so unlike you
We usually talk
or laugh
or, do it again
But, I know
We will have those days
and, they will pass
Just like whatever it is
that's bothering you
hopefully,
my love
(kissing you on your forehead)
good night...
