Lying next to you
We don't say a word
Enjoy the silence
Caress your soft skin
Breathing gently
You smile in your sleep
I close my eyes
Take it all in
In case it's the last time
Live for the moment
That's what you'd say
If you were awake
And not blissfully dreaming
The sounds and smells
Linger in my mind
When I open my eyes again
Night has turned to day
Autumn leaves are falling
And the sensations I felt
Are now a world away
Maybe you should know
When I lie on my own
That sometimes I wish
I was still next to you
