in the middle of the night I awake softly and silently barely moving I do not know what spirit of the darkness has wakened me, nor do I know why until I see you lying next to me on your side, your back to me through the blankets, I can make out the softness of your sleeping form and on the pillow, I can see your face, your hair falls from your head delicately framing your eyes of love, now closed I think about your eyes for a moment how they smile at me every morning how they kiss me every night how you speak to me without a word with them I softly sigh and look at the clock 3:00 am, much too late to be awake I say to myself and so, I curl up next to you on the bed put my arms around you, holding you close you gently make yourself a part of me without awakening, we are now one I whisper in your ear, "I love you" and I return to dreams again knowing that they have already come true ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |

I enjoyed this one very much! Now you will have everyone going to sleep in hopes of wakening up in the middle of the night and looking to the other side of the bed. "the softness of your sleeping form and on the pillow Hopefully they will not be dissappointed. |
