Last Night While You Were Sleeping

Last night while you were sleeping, I could not help myself. I had a silent story for you, I just had to tell. I drew pictures with my fingertips, of hearts and "I love you's". Covering your soft smooth skin, with invisible tattoos. I saw you smile once or twice, it made me smile too. Right then and there I realized, I truly do love you. All choked up I grabbed your hand, and pressed it to my heart. Then gazed right down upon you like, a masterpiece of art. Your beauty overwhelmed me, I broke down into tears. Then whispered how much I love you, into your sleeping ears. I smiled as goosebumps on your skin, started to appear. Then laid with you and held you close, I had to have you near. I ran my fingers down your spine, and gently through your hair. The peaceful flicking candlelight, lit your skin so fare. I softly pressed my ear against, your back to hear you breathe. Then hummed a tune inside my head, singing "I believe." Though far away in dreamland, your heart is mine to keep. It's softly beating lullaby, helped sing me to sleep. I hope that you will dream of me, I know I'll dream of you. I'll hold you right here in my arms, you are my dream come true. For life's a tale of many things, and powers from above. But I know now without a doubt, the greatest one is love.
