I am awake, so very awake Wide eyed and restless Taught and tense poised beside you I want to move and move with you I want to feel the night with you
But you lay there so peacefully Calm and cool and quiet,
Your body moves with the sway of your gentle breathing Curves, rise and fall draped strong along the bed Your face, beautifully outlined and shadowed with the moon Eyes, carefully closed and dark and silent You are close but terribly far away
I am stark and cold and naked and awake Exposed before the wind and rain and weather of the night I am surrounded by air that carries none of your words There is nothing in this air but the sound of impatience This air holds only my sad sighing Waiting for the end of night I am lonely beside you,
