Beautiful To Me

I awake in your embrace
Enjoy the peaceful look on your face
Simply watching you is enough, no need to invade your space
Innocent. Beautiful to me
And I speak to you as you sleep
Truths, secrets and promises to keep
The way I feel towards you.. it goes so deep
As precious as a child's imprint of an angel in the snow
You're so soft and sweet, I hope you know

 And as you wake and smile at me
A sleepy haze
My once cold heart has entirely melted, thawed out and now lit, ablaze
Like the flame of a thousand fires
It awakens with no memory of ever being anything but bright and alive
It is now that I know I have survived
