The Moments Before Sleep
I lie in bed at night and close my eyes.
But before I sleep, all I see is her.
Then I fight with myself to stay awake.
So my mind may keep that image of her.
I think of when I’ve held her close to me.
Of how she pushes herself closer still.
And of how she leans her head on my chest.
Every sensation is such a great thrill.
But alas my mind begins its slumber.
And as these memories take to their flight.
I find myself to be calm and at peace.
For I know they will return the next night.
