Sometimes, I watch you sleep..
Did you know, that sometimes, I stay up,
On the rare occasions that I can catch you asleep.
When you are so exhausted from the toll
That insomnia takes on your body,
Your emotions,
Your life
Sometimes I watch you sleep'¦
Watch you dream and follow your smile
I stroke your cheek and kiss your fingers
Wondering if its me you dream of
Knowing its her you are seeing,
When your eyes finally close.
Sometimes, I watch you sleep'¦
Listen to the soft hum of your breath,
The sighs that you release in your dreams,
The flicker of your eyelids in the deep sinking
Sleep that you finally have
I hold your hand, and run my fingers through your hair
Burying my face in the beautiful strands,
That hold a scent all its own,
Your scent.
Sometimes, I watch you sleep'¦
Did you know, that when you finally fall from the high
You are on,
I watch you dream.
