I told you
As I looked upon your sleeping face
The stillness
Of your soft-shut eyes
Heard you gently breathe
That I could not sleep

I added that
My mind was just too full of things
For it to let me rest
The night we shared
Your body curled up next to mine
Emblazoned in my thoughts

And then
Then it just came over me
How beautiful you looked right then
Powerless to pause
I touched your face
Your cheek so warm and
You awoke

I was sorry
But I smiled
Knowing you had never heard my whispers
But knowing that you know.
