I can't sleep.
My mind thunders and lightnings
At the thought of you not near me;
There's an ache in my heart.
You scent still lingers on my skin
As do your phantom touches
But that's not enough to satiate this
Yearning within, yes,
And I hate the idea of being apart.
You're sleep and I'm wide awake
Tonight and I can't stand the weight
Of this wait so I stare at the stars
Blissfully wanting to be with you.
No, so long as you're not near me
I can't sleep.
