at night
when you are asleep
and our whole world is quiet
and it is very, very late
and very, very dark
I sneak into your room
and lean down over your bed
so
close
that my nose touches your cheek
and I leave it there
until I catch the rhythmic cadence
of your breath
in
and
out
and I leave my nose by your cheek a little longer
so I can drink in your sleepy scents
and soak up your youth
and bask in the sweetness of your spirit
until my tiredness overtakes me
and I have to leave
and crawl into my own bed
and fall asleep for perfect night dreams
where you
and I
and dad
can hardly stand how happy we are
simply because we are
together
