The Way We Sleep

there’s something about

the way we sleep

that has changed me

healed my heart

given me

hope

there’s something about

the way we sleep

wrapped up in each other

a sensual tangle

of arms, legs

bodies

there’s something about

the way we sleep

held so tight, so close

our silky skin

our soft lips

touching

there’s something about

the way we sleep

wishing the night would

never end

go on

forever

there’s something about

the way we sleep

you hold me to you

and I feel so safe

cherished

loved

there’s something about

the way we sleep

our heart beats match

in shared rhythm

our breathing

syncs

there’s something about

the way we sleep

when one of us moves

the other moves too

we chose to stay

connected

there’s something about

the way we sleep

that takes the concept

of spooning to

a whole new

level

there’s something about

the way we sleep

as though being in love

is a secret only

we have

found

there’s something about

the way we sleep

no greater peace has my

heart ever known

than with

you

there’s something about

the way we sleep

it is so hard to

wake up to

leave your

arms

there’s something about

the way we sleep

so lovingly that makes

me miss you

when we are

apart

there’s something about

the way we sleep

that makes me

want to sleep

beside you

always
