I cannot but put words to the sight before me A best friend, sleeping safe in my comfort There is nothing like it No words will ever describe The peace I see The safe she feels To rest in my presence To trust me watching over her To dream quietly Her gentle breathing Her twitching smile Her serenity is visible A woman places her confidence in a man Trusts him to look over and keep her safe And even from fifty-bajillion miles She believes me to be doing just that
I love you best friend, sleep well knowing When your eyes flutter open I’ll be the first sight you see Never leaving while you sleep or wake
