i felt like i could sleep

for a day, maybe less

maybe more

dazing in and out of consciousness

while thoughts of you spun round

i felt like i could sleep

but it avoided me like the plague

it was as if i could hear your presence

feel your breath on my neck

touch your skin

but i open my eyes

and i'm alone

the fan spinning above me

cool air being my only companion tonight

and so i close my eyes

for in my dreams you're home

in my dreams we don't have to part

and everything is perfect

but i can't sleep

i'm no rip van winkle

love.
more than a four letter word
more than a feeling
more than a genre

love.
the reason i took this breath
and this one
and this one too

love.
yours shines like a lighthouse
the spinach to my popeye
the rhythm of my heart

love.
more than i know
more than research shows
beyond all humanity.

love.
