My head lay upon your chest,
My ears listening to the rhythmic beating of your powerful heart.
Eyes closed,
Lips curved into that of a smile.
The pattern of your breathing,
Forcing my head up and down.
My mind begins to linger,
My body begins to relax.
Escaping from all others,
It’s only me and you.
Protected by your embrace,
Warmth illuminating off your body.
Slumber starts to take over,
And I attempt to fight it.
I thrust my eyelids open,
And glimpse up at the face of my contentment.
The last thing I will see before I fall asleep,
Comfort overpowers me and my eyes close.
My neck relaxes,
And my head falls between your chin and shoulder.
I paint myself a mental picture,
Only of you sleeping silently above me.
Falling out of consciousness,
I find myself in a lair of dreams.
The place where I behold my deepest emotions,
Searching only for the right dream.
An image drapes across my subconscious state,
An image accompanied by the happiest of feelings.
Puzzled as to if I am still awake,
I find the picture to be the same as it was before I fell asleep.
You holding me in your arms,
Time standing still.
Frozen in a dream,
Feeling all too real.
I don’t want to wake up,
I don’t want this moment to ever end.
Slipping deeper into my slumber,
A noise from above me is heard.
I look up to see you,
Planting a kiss on my forehead.
Looking straight into your eyes,
...I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else.
Your lips find their way to my ear,
Your voice in but a whisper.
‘I love you,’
A smile crosses my lips.

I awaken and look up to see you still asleep,
...it was only a dream.
Moving silently upwards,
I press my lips to your ear.
‘I love you too,’
A smile now slowly peering across your cherry lips.
Laying my head back down on your shoulder,
I know you were dreaming of the same thing.
