Our Lullaby

Sing me to sleep Sing me what was once out lullaby. The only words spoken were I love you, and sleep sweet my angel. The only music was the sounds of our shallow breaths the rustling of the sheets the bustling of the curtians in the wind the neighbors chimes in the breeze and the gentle chirps as the birds take their last bows. And one sound could only be described as angelic the highest note in this nocturnal symphony the sound of two lovestruck lips meeting for their last kiss till dawn. And once we drift away it does not end the gentle rythm of the dishwasher and the steady whir of the fan still work to create that place in slumber where you and I can remain together undisturbed forever or at least in until daylight breaks. You always told me we never had a lullaby you said I dont know the words I said the only thing you have to do is lay beside me and listen. You thought we never had a lullaby but now you know better we had had the best lullaby there is simplicity.
