Before I Sleep

I always think of you before I sleep. The words you said, the way you looked. The things we laughed to and the ones that made us cry. The moments of chaos, the hours of silence- the still between every breath. I'll think of you before I sleep. Pull down your side, Let you stumble in. The warmth of your skin and the way you always said "goodnight". Run my hand where it's cold now, embrace this silence- The still between my breaths. I'll dream of you when I sleep. Close my eyes, Imagine you're here. The words you said, The way you looked. You're not here now, But it's all about you- It's always been about you.
