As You Hold Me Tight

Lay awake while you sleep.
Arm around me, holding me close.
Keeping me safe, even in your dreams,
As you hold me tight.

Roll over to face you,
Watching your seemingly lifeless body.
Resting my hand on your chest.
As you hold me tight.

My soft kiss, upon your cheek,
Wakes you from your dreams.
You ask me if something’s wrong.
As you hold me tight.

I shake my head from side to side.
You place a kiss on my forehead.
I smile up at you,
As you hold me tight.

I whisper that I love you.
And you say it too.
Then wrap both arms around me,
And you hold me tighter.

Suggestions? :)
