when i lie in bed to sleep
to you my mind does creep
to your face and body that i know
your hair that puts your face aglow
i stop and my mouth begins to show my glee
and i pictured you sleeping next to me
tucked away beneath the flowing sheets
my heart skips a couple beats
my arm raises to lie on you
to block the monster's line of view
but the vission slowly fades away
my heart wishes you to stay
all i can do is to lift my head
toss and turn and try to think of sleep instead
but when the dream world dose return
the image of you within me burns
i once again resume a peaceful sleep
because somewhere within me deep
i know you are safe from harm
and don't need the protection of my arm
but want it anyway
