i lie awake in bed
unable to close my eyes
(for fear that i'll see your face in the inky black of my eyelids)
wishing for sleep to overtake me
and lull me into quiet slumber
in its warm embrace
(sort of like the way you held me close and sure)
(i always felt safe in your arms)
i lie awake in bed
scared to close my eyes
scared to dream
(of you,
for fear i'll fall back in love again)
sleep presses against my eyelids like a wave on the horizon
(crushing me like it does when i hear your name,
when i remember how much i miss you)
(a lot) (darling i miss you a lot)
