WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING

I saw you last night while you were sleeping
Your expression so soft and kind,
I felt your breath as I kissed you gently
And love spilled throughout my mind.

I saw you last night while you were sleeping
So peacefully calm and worry free,
I knew at once with that first glance
No one could love you as much as me.

I saw you last night while you were sleeping
Your scent so sweet and clean,
I heard your heart beat in your chest
No happier have I ever been.

I saw you this morning while you were sleeping
As the sun moved across your room,
You opened your eyes and I saw you see me
You had woken not a minute too soon.

I held you close and kissed your soft lips
And I knew that I would be,
Forever grateful to the powers above
For giving you to me.
