while you were sleeping
i felt your soul
touching me in the midst of
your delta waves luring you further and further from conciousness
*
*
while you were sleeping
i feel in love with your mind
because i realized that having just your body with me
didn't amount to as much as
when we talk
and
when we share our deepest intellecual thoughts
*
*
while you were sleeping
i healed your body
with the cleansing tears
that drenched your chest
tears of fear that
at any moment
i could lose you
with you right there
*
*
while you were sleeping
i prayed that when you woke up
it would be me still there
holding you hands
tears hiding behind my eyes
as i whisper in your ear
"guess what happened while you were sleeping"
*
*
while you were sleeping
i fell for a man in such a way others couldn't fathom
i fell in love everyday i watched your peaceful face rest
earnestly waiting for those beautiful eyes to smile at me again
