Sighing in the sheets,
Dreaming of the sweeter things.
I lay alone, eyes drowning in the darkness,
Wondering why sleep escapes me.
Toss, turn, adjust the sheets,
Get up to go to the bathroom.
And as I climb back into bed,
Hoping to empty head,
I hear your voice,
And see your shoulder turn.
A hand slips over to my chest,
Fingers spin in a loving caress.
And with deep breath in, I let go of the world,
Leaning in, I embrace the girl.
But as my arms begin to grasp her,
Her form disappears,
And suddenly, my eyelids flutter open,
Just a dream, another voice in the dark.
