some nights I lay awake,
thinking of you and the way you smile
the way you make me smile when you enter the room
when you rest your head on my shoulder at night
it's like sleepwalking through daydreams
noticing nothing around but you
invincible to everything but the tears you cry
the smell of your skin a perfume to savor
your smile when you sleep melts me
and your arm across my chest to know I'm there
it's like a daydream I want to never wake up from
sleepwalking through daydreams smiling through tears
content just to be there and thinking of time
time to be here in increments of five and ten
through the future of our life
as I go sleepwalking once more

(smiles) Awwwwwwww, this is soooooo beautiful, sweet friend, you are not alone, lately I have been feeling lovesick because there is a girl I love so much who lives far away from me and I think about if I can meet her someday and the smile we'd share! (big hugggssssss) We all love you so much, sweet friend, I wish for this dream to come true and love will forever touch your heart with a smile! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet James, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Now that is the kind of sleepwalking you never want to wake up from! Very tender and sweet! Nicely done! *S*
