One last time

I lay watching
As your chest rises
And lowers
With each beat of your heart
Mine beats too

Knowing that within
Arms reach
I can touch you
Knowing you are mine
When the last rays of
Sunlight kiss your face
And The shadows
Begin to creep in

Love is a fickle friend
Choosing where it goes
and leaving when it
Wants to
But this time
This
Time,
my friend
I will hold your hand
Until you can leave no more
Until the sky falls in
And the waters dry
Leaving the earth barren

I close my eyes and listen
To the world sleeping
As I too drift in that
Nether world
Dreaming of you
As we dance amongst the stars
Holding eachother
As if this is
the
last
dream

And when morning comes
And I wake to you
Watching me dream
And that knowing smile
That tells me
You feel the same way
And I reach to you
As our hands clasp
And we lie
Silently
Because no words
Can describe
The miracle
You make me feel
