I've spent these nights
lying awake in bed
thinking of you
and only you
interrupting my
dreams
invading my
sleep
wrapping your arms around
me
your fingers gripping
my heart
keeping me
safe and warm
from heartbreak.
I've spent these nights
whispering
I love you's
to you in my
sleep,
only to awake
to find you
nowhere nearby.
