i can't close my eyes
'cause i know i won't sleep
sometimes i'm enthralled by you
summoned by your low, silent breath
i look at you in the night
while the moon dances on your cheeks
plays upon your hair
and i say
there's an angel in my bed.
the adrenaline rush..
the blood surging through my veins...
my heart has never raced this way before
even in your deep, sullen slumber
you secure me
grasping my body, and my spirit
and all i can do is stare at you
and kiss your soft cheek
because this is the best i've ever seen you
and i could live in the moment forever
as if it were my last
because i know things change when those eyes flutter open
when your chest just doesn't feel so warm
i just wish you could see
how lovely you are
while you're asleep.
