Sleeping Beauty.

Sometimes,
In the middle of the night,
I wake up.

I can't sleep anymore
Because of the things
That I see when I shut my eyes.

It doesn't matter though,
I never slept much anyway.
But when I did wake up,

He was there.
And I would watch him sleep
And wonder
What he was dreaming of.

One night,
As I was watching him,
His chest rising
Up and down,

I wondered what would happen
If I kissed him...
While he slept.

Because he was my
Sleeping beauty.

So I leaned down,
My lips so close I could feel his breath.

When I pulled away,
I looked back down at him.

And he opened his eyes.
And he smiled at me.

And when I blushed,
He took me in his arms
and he pushed the hair
out of my face.

And he kissed my forehead,
without saying a word.
