Asleep

I cannot sleep
Without you here, I'm unable
I lie awake until exhaustion takes over
When the sun comes up, I finally sleep

I feel asleep
Without you here, I am idle
I distract myself through the days of your absence
When I am with you, I finally live

Yet, when I am with you, I sleep
It is the most comfortable sleep I can sleep
When I lay on your chest, in your arms, I am safe
You are my true comfort; I drift to sleep

I am restless
Knowing that it may be a while
'Til the next time I lay with you at night to sleep
It is a little heart breaking... I sigh

It is so cold
You are so warm, you are my warmth
You embrace me; Take the cold from my skin with glee
In your presence, I can find peaceful sleep

I am hopeful
I will hold you tight every night
One day, I won't have to let go of your comfort
The darkness will be filled with my starlight...

... and I will sleep
