No Toys In the Bedroom

We still go to sleep in the 
same bed 
But not necessarily with each 
other
And the only time we touch at 
night
Is when we're fighting for the 
covers

Honey leave the iPad in the 
kitchen
The lap top and iPhone too
I know we've been married for 
a bunch of years
But I only want to sleep with 
you

I appreciate how busy you are
And that at night you're really 
tired
And you say you cant just fall 
asleep
Because you still feel really 
wired

But I miss how we were when 
we  first met
Two bodies entwined in a 
single breath
Holding each other even when 
we slept
Together as one with no 
regrets
