Each strand seperates swiftly
as I move my nails across your scalp
you're asleep in my arms.

Eyes closed, peacefull face,
your breathing is deep
as I watch you sleep.

Arms intertwined, you shift
over and upwards, so sweet, so innocent,
I kiss your lips.

Eyelids fluttering and you wake,
you smile up at me, and love me
before falling back to sleep.
