I was awake last night
stayed up looking at you
kept awake by your soft hair
intoxicated by your smell

I didn’t sleep last night
haunting feelings of fear kept me up
fear of loosing you
fear of closing my eyes
and finding you gone

I stayed up last night
i was watching your face
spent the time carefully
letting my eyes caress
nose, eyelids, lips, brow

I now know
every lash on your eyes
every hair on your brows
every part of your lips

So my love
if you wonder
why
i’m so tired today
why
i may look at you different
i just want you to know
it’s because I stayed up all night
i was looking at you
sleeping beside me
i was looking at you
more wonderful than any dream
