Love Poem: Eight Hours

Eight Hours

Guess what?
Staying up last night talking just wasn't enough.
Eight hours without you is much too much.
Even though it was all spent at your side,
I couldn't know your feelings or tell you mine.
As I listened to the rhythm of your breathing,
I was jealous of this time set aside for sleeping.

Guess what?

I drifted off to sleep and had experiences that were new
in my dreams that you don't know about and I wanna get your view.

Guess what?

I love you and I wanted to let you to know
because the last time I told you was eight hours ago.
So when baby dawn is waking and being born again,
I quietly move over to your side of the bed.
And I wait for you to wake up,
so I sit up
and say; Guess what?
