Asleep
She was sleeping when I came home
Asleep on the couch, all on her own
And I watched her for awhile.
She was asleep when I came home.
She was sleeping when I came home
Lost in a world of her dreams
I wish I could have dreamt with her,
But she was in a world of her own
What she dreamt, only she could see.
She was sleeping when I came home
Sprawled on the couch, eyes softly shut
What she dreamt was hers alone
It was not my place to intrude.
She was sleeping when I came home
Did not know I was there
I left her as she was, I did not wish to wake her
I left her sleeping on the couch.
She was sleeping when I came home
And I watched her for a while
Her hair, sprawled over her shoulders
Her chest, as it heaved with each breath
Her hands, forming a pillow for her cheek
And resting at the end of the couch, her feet
She was sleeping when I came home
And I left her there.
Just one of those moments.
