Love Poem: Watching You Sleep

Watching You Sleep

I watch you in your peaceful sleep
Dreaming a dream, something sweet

The smile on your face leaves no doubt
This is something you are happy about

A sigh, a whisper and then a grin
It is as if you’re giving in

I wonder what your dream really is 
What is your wish and where does it live

I pray to learn to live like you
And then I find I already do

As you turn toward me onto your side
You reach out for me, I melt inside

I never knew such happiness until now
I seemed to doubt your love somehow

As you speak my name soft and low
It’s me you dream of, please don’t let me go.
