As the hours wear on
late into the night,
I hold you close while
laying next to you.

So many worries
So many problems
So much trying
to keep me from
laying next to you.

All disappear
Like a cloud above
an overpass while
laying next to you.

My mind becomes clear.
My heart beats harder
but calmer
laying next to you.

I feel how much
I love you with
my arms around you,
laying next to you.

I feel tired but
I dare not sleep.
For when time
together is scarce,
I dare not waste a minute.

So here I lay
so here I wish to stay
lying in your arms
Laying...next to you.

If it weren't for my horse...

I know how this feels... I've been struggling with it myself, but time eventually will come.

Very nice poem, thank you.

I loved this poem as few people who experience these feelings can make that transition to cherishing what they have laying right next to them.Its a matter of cherishing what blessings you do have. Good write - look forward to more

If at first you don't succeed destroy all the evidence that you tried.
