When Night Comes

When night comes,
I race to fall asleep.
You come to me like a thief
in the night and steal my
heart away.
The closeness of your skin
next to mine warms my
soul.
The echo of your voice makes
me soften in spirit.
The touch of your hand soothes
my aches.
I dream of you,
And I smile....
