The last thing i remembered Was falling asleep on you. It started with us talking in bed, You were still in your white cap and i was still in my shoes. And vaguely but imprinted in my mind, i recall you taking off your pullover, Putting on a plain shirt, My eyes, i tried to cover. But to see your arms, your neck Sculpted with veins, I know you're ontological, Despite your occasional back pains. Then you slipped under the sheets next to me, stared into my eyes and said: "To see you last before i close my eyes, to see you first before the sunrise, To hold you in my arms this way, Tell me, is it with me will you stay?" I moved my head onto his chest Your breathing was steady, but loud and bold. And on your heart, my hand did rest, My breathing, did i surprisingly hold. "With you, I'll be, forever and always, To sleep to your voice like a lullaby, To wake up to it like an alarm on days, To be your warm hellos and good goodbyes." I feel your chin nod against my head, Your exhale makes a few hair strands fly. Before we knew it, we fell asleep to each other, And we didn't even have to try.

falling asleep on you
The last thing i remembered Was falling asleep on you. It started with us talking in bed, You were still in your white cap and i was still in my shoes. And vaguely but imprinted in my mind, i recall you taking off your pullover, Putting on a plain shirt, My eyes, i tried to cover. But to see your arms, your neck Sculpted with veins, I know you're ontological, Despite your occasional back pains. Then you slipped under the sheets next to me, stared into my eyes and said: "To see you last before i close my eyes, to see you first before the sunrise, To hold you in my arms this way, Tell me, is it with me will you stay?" I moved my head onto his chest Your breathing was steady, but loud and bold. And on your heart, my hand did rest, My breathing, did i surprisingly hold. "With you, I'll be, forever and always, To sleep to your voice like a lullaby, To wake up to it like an alarm on days, To be your warm hellos and good goodbyes." I feel your chin nod against my head, Your exhale makes a few hair strands fly. Before we knew it, we fell asleep to each other, And we didn't even have to try.
This is how it should be Before every time we fall asleep, Wjh. PART I: http://hellopoetry.com/poem/1592481/waking-up-to-you/
