I would lay down on your chest,
And listen to you breathe.
When I knew you fell asleep,
I would tell you all my dreams...
Of how I wished you knew
All the thoughts in my head.
Apologizing for any words I might not have said.
Then, I would tell you how I loved you
And needed you in my life,
Explaining that someday
I hoped to be your wife.
If you ony could have pretended...
To be asleep on one of these nights
I know you would've saw things in a different light.
You would still be here in my arms
To fall asleep beside,
If I only had the courage
To express my feelings inside.

Awwwww... I think you're becoming one of my favorite poets! This was so delicate and sweet but full of emotion. I could read this over and over I think. Simply excellent.

I know shes thought this before...but knows its not possible...it sucks so much...

She's encouraged me to pretend...but the type of person I am...I can't...
"You would still be here in my arms

:'(...I'm in utter tears...I know she can't fight for me...it tears her family life apart...but I would always be there to fall asleep beside her...if ever she calls one day...
Very simple unique awkward rhyming scheme which works; not always just every other line rhyming. I'm gonna stop rambling...but this is beautiful..you have touched me like never before....no 10/10....my <3/infinite.
