I remember
                   faking sleep
just to count your breath
                    memorizing
all the details
of your face-

your               eyebrows
your lips, and the mole
on your              
                           cheek

trying to find                         peace
between the strands
of your h a i r , along
with the rhythm
of your
h  e  a  r  t  b  e  a  t
                               that lulls me
                                                  to sleep.
