Whispered I Love Yous
to semi conscious lovers
over telephone lines
connecting us while we're apart
My heart beats in time
with your breathing
At three a.m the world is sleeping
and we are the only ones existing
i reach over to touch you
and i remember
that you aren't there
i keep thinking that you're next to me
we are falling deeper into oblivion;
that's all the world is
when you go to bed
there's no way of knowing
if you will wake up.
I feel stronger knowing
that we are together
in facing the unknown of sleep,
if only together through our voices
i hope that i will wake up
& i hope that you do, too
i dream that one day
you will ask me to wake
with you every morning.

Aw whit this is cute.
And sort of sad too.
Relationships are hard.
Yours seem so confusing.
I wonder sometimes how you
can handle all this.
You are strong my dear.
