"Sleepless Nights"

Lying in my bed at night,

While I often vision of holding you tight.

I count the hours,

To minutes,

Minutes to seconds until you awake.

Only then can I see your shining face.

Looking at the ceiling drawing out your face,

And looking at the moments that placed you in my heart.

Frustrated and distraught because I can't lay by your side,

I begin to toss and turn,

Because my body begins to burn,

And yearn for you.

I look out of the window,

And gaze at the sky,

Counting the stars to pass the time.

Balled up in the covers to force you out of my mind,

Holding the pillows as if you were by my side.

I often dreamed of how it would be with you lying next to me.

Me holding you all through the night,

Anticipating when you awake so that we can make love all over the place.

Laying your head on my chest as we pull near,

Kissing you on your forehead,

Assuring you that I'll always be here.

Trying so many things that'll put me to sleep,

I pray in my bed at night,

In your heart I'll always be.

From night to night,

It’s always the same.

But, because of my sleepless nights,

I know our love's not a game.
