I love watching your blue eyes
Shut to sleep when all the world is still
In them I hear the ocean clashing upon the shore
Settle to a gentle rocking embrace of the sand

When your chest becomes rhythmic and slow
A strong pillow for my head
A soft landing pad for my dreams

My fingers dance across the blonde hairs
My eyelashes greet them hello, again

It’s then that I think you’re snoring
But barely, you’re never obnoxious
Even the lines in your hand
The perfect creases on your face
All show the world your humble kindness

Sometimes I wonder where you are
Conquering new, undiscovered lands
Rescuing others from burning houses
But you do that in your waking

So perhaps it’s selfish
But I imagine it’s of us, together
Overlooking our home in a fantasy world
Until I finally fall asleep
Hoping I can meet you there once more
