Nice Dreams

Frightened for no particular reason
I couldn't conjugate the right words
Or the right time to say them

Trying to stay warm in this season
Something lovely only comes in thirds
You're a lotus and I'm just the stem

I shut my eyes and tried
To fast forward to the part when we sleep
Hoping that we'd lie together

To my surprise you came up beside
My excited body and laid next to me
I wish that moment could have lasted forever


I was nervous that you would notice
My heart beating hard against your back
I fell asleep regardless...
           
               And dreamt only nice dreams
