Sleep Sweet Sleep

The lights go out, it's almost one.

There's some fumbling with blankets and pillows.

I can't see much of you

You're just a figured silhouette in the dark.

You move so gracefully and place yourself on top of me

You touch my face and whisper secrets that only I can know.

You tried to explain, I like that you always try

To explain what I already know.

You put it into words I'd never thought of.

I can feel you, more than I ever have.

I was expecting a story

and maybe a short little prayer

but instead you just looked at me

and tucked me into bed.

It was the most innocent we've ever been.

Sleep never felt so sweet.
