You lay there waiting.
Heavy eyes, shallow breathing.
Those small moments of the day,
Still running through your mind.
Will sleep ever arrive?

Comforting warmth surrounds your body.
Tiny murmurings echo in your ears.
The one you love lies beside you
They're even breathing all you need to know.
Will sleep ever arrive?

Those creeping shadows, the wind outside, fade.
Though today’s small moments still linger.
Your mind refusing to let them go,
That kiss, that cuddle, and the day's laughter.
Will sleep ever arrive?

You pull those covers tightly around you.
Knowing its presence will be here soon.
You secretly smile as you think of something,
A problem solved, the day's last small moment.
Sleep is nearly here.

Turning, your body finds that comfy spot.
You reach out with a reassuring hand,
A loving touch, your partner sleeping there.
Those small moments fade.
As sleep arrives.
