(Untitled)
You are asleep
So am I
I am asleep but my eyes are open
My eyes are open and I can see
so clearly
You draw in a breath and stir and
I pray that I didn't wake you
Beautiful
That's what it is
The beauty of a person is relfected
in the quirks of its sleep
The way you tense up and relax,
only to tense once again
The way you breath; knowing that
you will turn over now
True beauty is a person who looks
perfect sleeping
Or perhaps true love is to love
the way a person sleeps
I don't know which
I see this all now, it begins to
makes sense
But I am asleep
And like all sleepers, I will have
to wake up eventually...
