As you lay sleeping
I look at you as you lay sleeping
I see the man you are
and remember the boy you were
the boy whose eyes were so soft
when he looked up far enough for me to see
the boy whose smile was so guarded
when he smiled at all
There is no way I’ll ever be able to tell you
how much I love you
how much I have always loved you
how much I will always love you
words are your gift, not mine
I look at you as you lay sleeping.
I brush the hair from your damp brow
and you stir, fitful sleep, fitful dreams
dreams that rack your body
as they rack your mind
dreams that haunt you with memories
that linger even after you wake
There is no way I’ll ever be able to tell you
how much I want to take those memories from you
how much I want to erase the hurt
how much I want to undo the pain
no words can reach that deeply
I look at you as you lay sleeping
I catch my breath as you open your eyes
and I see you as I did the first time
when your eyes met mine and you smiled
when you stole the thoughts from my head
when you stole the words from my lips
when you stole my heart
There is no way I’ll ever be able to tell you
how much a part of me you are
how you are the breath in my lungs
how you are the blood in my veins
but for the rest of my life I will try
