Lying next to him
I watch him sleep
listening as he breathes
imagining dreams he weaves
last night we planned our future with such intensity
reaching for me he wakes
opens his eyes and smiles
caresses my face
senses I’m not there
in a different place
searching my eyes
seeing the worries I cannot hide
pulling me close
holding me so tight it hurts
drifting back into slumber
my heart can’t help but wonder
“I’ll love you forever”, he whispers in my hear
“I have to try just one more time, I owe it to her, my kids”
tears well
begin to flow
in my heart I know
Inside
I scream, I cry
wondering why
I love him
the right thing to do is let him go
holding his face in my hands
I kiss him once
more tender than ever before
no more sleep
heartbreak has won
we make love one last time
two beings merge with intensity
our destiny
falls away
I watch him sleep
listening as he breathes
imagining dreams he weaves
last night we planned our future with such intensity
reaching for me he wakes
opens his eyes and smiles
caresses my face
senses I’m not there
in a different place
searching my eyes
seeing the worries I cannot hide
pulling me close
holding me so tight it hurts
drifting back into slumber
my heart can’t help but wonder
“I’ll love you forever”, he whispers in my hear
“I have to try just one more time, I owe it to her, my kids”
tears well
begin to flow
in my heart I know
Inside
I scream, I cry
wondering why
I love him
the right thing to do is let him go
holding his face in my hands
I kiss him once
more tender than ever before
no more sleep
heartbreak has won
we make love one last time
two beings merge with intensity
our destiny
falls away
