At last when I fall asleep,
The last sound I hear
Is your breath
In my ear.
That sound is mine to keep.
Your secret, only known to me
That you are vulnerable in your dreams.
Bared for the world to see
Your heart sounds an irregular beat.
Terrified to fall
yet how I know that you would have it all.
And in your eyes I see the truth;
You know as well as I do.
And then as I close my eyes
And I hear your gentle sighs
I silently scream
"I love you"
But I do not dare to breathe.
