In the sweet slumber of sleep...
I hear you....so softly...
Softly you whisper...
I try to clear my mind....
I want to focus on every word that is being said...
I want to hear all that you have to say...
I have waited for this moment....
For what seems like a lifetime....
To hear you finally say those magic words...
The words that I long to hear....
I have waited patiently...wondering....
Wishing....longing...unsure....
Is it just me...maybe it is...just me...
I clear my head and give you my attention...
So gently you touch my face...
Brushing the stray hair from my eyes...
You lean in to get close to my ear....
Making sure that you are being heard...
At last....this is it...
The whisper sounds like a song in my ear...
Sweet melody of words...
Sung only for me....
It's my song....
"You are the one"..."That girl"...
Completely lost in you and in your words....
The breath against my cheek...
At that moment everything else fades away...
Its only those words and the sound of my heart..
Pounding in my ears...taking my breath away..
Its in that moment that I realize...
I love you...
I awake to the sounds of the morning...
And the realization that it was only a dream...
In the sweet slumber of sleep...
