Innocently, We Sleep

I want to be beside you

So close that our torsos are touching;

Holding hands, reassuring,

Until innocently, we sleep.

I want to grab you nearer,

To feel you in my arms,

Know it's you I'm holding,

And keep you in my arms.

I want our heads to be so close,

I can't see anything else;

I can feel your breath

And be comforted; we are in sync.

I want to lay so close to you,

We share the same clarity;

I can hear your heart beat

And pretend I am alright.

I want to be beside you

So close that our torsos are touching;

Holding hands, reassuring.

Until innocently, we sleep.

Repetition can work be it a stanza, line, or word. Always a but isn't there? But it should make a point, line, thought - stronger. For me this time it didn't. I liked where and how you were leading UNTIL the last stanza.
