Together

To watch you as you sleep
feel a great need to protect
as you breathe slow and steady
looking handsomely perfect

your hair spread across pillow
as you rest after a busy day
your face relaxed in slumber
letting the tension slip away

to know you're here beside me
so comforting to the soul
a union betwix us is so strong
for united we are whole

so as I lay here next to you
feeling your warmth through the night
listening to your steady breathe
our time together is right
