In the quiet of the night...
I can feel the warmth of your body next to mine,
your arms wrapped around me.
I can hear you whisper my name softly,
in such a loving way that it touches my soul.
In the quiet of the night...
I can hear your gentle laughter,
and see your smiling eyes gazing down at me.
And as we look deep within each others' eyes,
it is like no one else in the world exists but us.
In the quiet of the night...
As I close my eyes and drift off to sleep,
you are with me in my dreams.
Your love protects me at night,
enveloping me, keeping me safe and warm,
until we can be together again.
My Response-
Sitting and reading your words
Over and over again
Feeling the stinging of the tears, that begs to fall
The stillness in your expressions cries out,
Fit it my existence
Hold me and love me; passionately
Touching you, until we mesh into one
Wishing that I could to be the things you picture me as
Coloring your life in images of sweetness and bliss
To comfort you when all is lost, fitting the little segments
Those pleasurable things that are broken
Breathing my existence into your lungs
I try to resuscitate the sorrow
That stings the very core of our bodies
Spinning in your mind while you sleep
I trap my emotions inside of your dreams
Whispering your name in the quiet of the night, I gaze into your eyes
Fixing my emotions on what's left, as we embrace each other tight
Speaking softly onto each other souls
Until the fire in our love once again reunites
No one will ever know who this one "special" person is in my life. I want to keep them a secret in my thoughts, dreams and sleepless hours. They keep me hanging onto life as I breathe in day in and day out. To be loved is such a wonderful feeling. Even though we could never be together. I still embrace this person with every ounce in my being- only what I can muster without squeezing too tightly. Maybe someday I will reveal to you who this person is, but until then my "babyface" will remain a mystery.
