He looks at her lying there sleeping with a smile on his face He shuts his eyes Opens them and sees her beckoning to him He goes to her Takes her in his arms and murmurs sweet nothings till she is asleep again He shuts his eyes Opens them again and he's still standing there watching her sleep
He watches her as she speaks so animatedly The light from the harsh fluorescent bulb hardly diminishes the angles, the planes, the beauty of her face He watched the pleasure in her face turns to sorrow as she recounts her troubles And as he wished with all his might that he could take her in his arms to comfort her
He shuts his eyes And opens them He goes to her Takes her in his arms Comforts her as she cries out her anguish He shuts his eyes Opens them again And he's still sitting in his seat Watching her pour her soul out
He's standing by the door As she bids him goodbye She saunters over to him Hugs him goodbye As she walked away He shuts his eyes Opens them And hurries over to her With a whisper as soft as butterfly wings He says "I'm in love with you" He shuts his eyes And opens them again He's still standing by the door As she hurried away to her ride With the words still unspoken
He lay down in his bed Thinking about the day As he closes his eyes He goes back to dreaming about her
