Lover Asleep

Lover Asleep

Lover, are you sleeping?
Your breath so even and low
I could sit and watch forever
Its measured ebb and flow

Your body is curved with secrets
You lie as quiet as a stone
And wander through dream places
That I have never known

Perhaps you're dreaming of me?
While I wait on the shore
Soon you will stir, still sleepy
But, wanting something more

You'll sigh and wake up smiling
Then gently draw me down
And take me to the places
That I have always known
