Why can't I fall
into my slumber
Next to my lover?
The days get long
but lately now
the nights get longer
My mind,
it races
Full of thoughts
and faces

But then I open up my eyes
And see my boo as he lies
With peace written all over his face
And I think of all of the love
that we share,
And how much he cares.
My mind
slows down
And I hear sleep arise
What a beautiful sound.
