I Just Couldn't Sleep

A small show of affection...

 

Even now in this room full of people

you are the only person that I see.
Even now as the music blasts into their ears
I hear nothing but my heartbeat as I look into your eyes.
All I know is this moment in your arms.
Somehow you became my life
and everything else turned gray.
I was no one before I met you; just a simple, country girl.
Now I am strong and growing.
Now I know love and I see with the same eyes- so many different sights.

All I ever dreamed about as a child was
meeting someone who would make me his life
and take care of me through the good and the bad.
Who would hold me and love me even through
the worst.
Someone who would fight to protect me, and keep my name
honored. Just like in the "old days".

Are you that boy?
Will you call me beautiful?
and tell me you miss me?
Will you kiss me on the cheek and let me know that you need me?
Ant tell me when you think about me?

Even as the clock ticks midnight my love for you does not tire.
My eyelids try to drop down and I force them to wait.
Will I dream of you tonight?
A better question: will those dreams come true?
Will I ever be the only girl you want? Or does that only happen in fairy tales?

For now, I guess I'll stop.
Just to give goodnight a chance.

Goodnight my love.
Sleep well.
