Lying next to you,
Feeling the warmth of your body,
Your breath
Rising and falling with your dreams.
Your face looks so peaceful,
Your soul seems so calm.
Lying next to you,
Hoping you don’t wake
As I watch you
As though I were an artist
Enjoying the bliss of my finest work.
I care for you
As a lover cares for
Their beloved.
Lying next to you,
I sense that you don’t understand
The depth to which you touch me.
That you don’t realize
The distance I’d go for your.
I don’t mind;
I’m content to hold you near to me,
To know you love me.
I’ll remain by your side
And someday,
If opportunity rises,
I shall throw myself to peril
If harm lies in your path.
I will be your humble,
Yet endlessly determined
Lover.
