Bricolage

how can I fall asleep
holding you close to me
wrapped in your arms
and not know?
how can i close my eyes
dream of being free
hold my breath for it
and not know?
how can i meet your gaze
look deep into your soul
know what you feel
and not know?
yet if i know...
how can you hold me
while I fall asleep
kiss gently my lips
and not
let it show
