Sleep

I lie there closing my eyes

starting to drift to sleep.

I see a time when I was always happy.

We were holding each other.

we were never apart,

Always doing things together.

People would always stop me,

and say how lucky I was.

As I drift further into my sleep,

I can see when we first met.

You were the most beautiful person there.

You had a smile that would make anyone do what you wanted.

And that smile made me ask you out.

I was shocked when you said yes,

but I was also overjoyed.

Now as I drift further into my sleep

I just remember better times,

because I won’t be waking from this sleep.
