Another one that is not dark, but what can i say, this is home. Besides, i figured this kinda happens in the dark. so that was enough reasoning for me. hehehe. hope nobody minds and everyone enjoys. I wake up beside you as dawn breaks over the horizon and watch you sleep Moments quickly slipping into hours Afraid to breathe too deeply or move Not wanting to lose this stolen moment of simple pleasure I can't help but stare and admire the peaceful expression of contented slumber that rests upon your tranquil face I watch you breathe Your chest rising and falling in the same rythmn that lulled me the night before Realizing I hadn't slept that good in years I run my fingers ever so gently through your hair Thinking I coud do this; wake up beside you and watch you every morning for the rest of my life You stir slightly but do not wake I move in closer to you You wrap yourself around me And kiss me once on my neck I smile and fall back into sleep |

LOL! Micheal, you comments usually tend to make me laugh! I know this probably sounds repititious and meaningless, but with a heart and mind like yours, there will be someone. i spent three years sleeping alone, longer if you wanna include the years that there was a body there but not a heart. and i finally found someone. it is i who am lucky. thanks so much for the comment and the laugh. lord know what the heck i'm doing up so late! anyway........thanks again!  |

this is sweet!! very nice!!like amy said a perfect way to start the day...good work. You're going to hear my voice in the morning calling your name And know my love and my desperation were one and the same... Baby it's alright... Take this pain and all this sadness It's alright Take this rain You're going to be free... Jackson Browne *I love you baby* |

beautiful danni, makes me not only think of my husband but also my daughter in some ways because i often watch her sleep. theres nothing so wonderful as watching your baby sleep so quietly and peacefully. not only because if they are sleeping they arent tearing your house apart, but also because they just look like tiny angels. wonderful way to express it. thanks for sharing. aimee Trust I seek and I find in you. Everyday for us something new. Open mind for a different view, and nothing else matters. --Metallica |
