I'm afraid to admit that my most passionate dreams about you amount to this...

You rest your head upon my chest
I hold your hand and sigh
Your tears make my shirt wet
as I caress your lovely hair

Finally as you fall asleep
I listen to your breathing
I look at your sweet face
and I know I could die like this

A peace overwhelms my heart
Nothing stirs in my mind at all
except the love I feel
for the one whom I now hold

Soon I drift into sleep
and I awaken again to find
that I am here without your love
until I dream again
