you must've been cold
because your blankets are pulled up around your shoulders
and you must've had a bad dream
because your tears left stains on your sheets
and you must've been lonely
because your arms a clutching your pillow
and I wish they were clutching me
I lean over your bed
let my breath hit your neck
and let my love surround you
and you will be
fast asleep
when I kiss your cheek
then I'll quietly leave
