The Love Stuff

Insomnia

I'm here alone and wondering
If you're awake too
Staring at your ceiling
It's all I ever do

I cannot seem to let my mind
Wander off to bed
It creates these dreams
And other things
Settles on you instead

And even though I tell it
To let me get some sleep
It likes to gather over there
Why bother counting sheep?

And so I let it take it's time
Until it's gone around
Opens doors
And looks for more
And shows me what it's found

Memories and thoughts
And random futures too
Basically the life
That I want to live with you

But finally after some time
It starts to power down
I settle in
And smile a bit
It's finally tuckered out.

Then I turn
And say a quick goodnight
Wish you were
Right here by my side

But until then my brain will go
And I'll just close my eyes
Pick the dreams
And memories
It's like my lullaby.
