I lay by your side with eyes wide enough to capture your thoughts,
I watch you get kidnapped by sleep as your vision is caught.
I cling to your side as heartbeats race under skin,
I drop a kiss in your dreams for you feel it when they begin.
I cover you up with wishes, and wrap hugs of cotton around your scent,
I melt my body into yours until existence is dripping content.
I inhale your love as you exhale your needs through tired air,
I cascade whispers over your lips and lock our palms before my prayer,
“Please God,
let us be safe, happy, healthy, and together forever,
let us be faithful and true in all that we do. Bless our lives together and bless us with a family one day,
give our love the strength to overcome all and win in the end.
.....Amen”
I engrave kisses in your skin for you to always keep
Then I close my eyes and wait to reunite in our sleep
Sweet dreams baby………………
