Fall Asleep In Your Arms

The desire grows,
the bond strengthens,
to let you hold me in your arms.

closer.
stronger.

oh, how I'd love to fall asleep in your arms,
for they are safe I know,
warm with comfort.
don't move a muscle,
breathing heavy,
wishing time would come to a hault just for us.
never to let a moment slip,
without full appreciation and affection,
of how lucky we are to have found one another,
when not really looking with our eyes,
but letting our hearts lead the way
in the direction they had secretly planned,
without us fully knowing.

I love it. It reminds me of the a couple times my boyfriend was holding me and just fell asleep while we were watching a movie. I love how your poem expresses exactly what I was feeling at those times. Great poem.
