can you?

can you blame me for wishing
that i am your thought on nights when you cant sleep
that when your mind wanders to those dark places
that i am the light amidst the darkness--your moon--your star
and can you blame me for hoping that when your eyes get heavy
and you feel yourself giving into the calm of sleep
that i am the image behind your eyelids...the last thing you see
and can you blame me for wanting to be included in your prayers before you finally drift off
for that is the sign of true affection...when you love someone so much that you tell God about them.
