Alive for Me

I put my fingers through your hair

Watched you sleep

Wondered if you were dreaming of me

Of us

This time or ever

You say you never remember

So I can only wonder

If your night thoughts

Are as intense as the ones

I am having right now

Looking upon you

Your hair tossed about your head

Little brown wisps framing your face

Eyes lined dark

Fading into smoky rings and streaks

From make up you never cared to remove

And never needed

One arm dangles along the side of the bed

While the other rests

Upon your bobbing chest

Up and down

Up and down

Up and down

Alive for me
