sometimes I watch your while youre
sleeping
your face expressionless,
full of trust and innocence
your eyelids flutter with your dreams
your breathing soft and shallow on your
lips
your hands folded gently under your face

if you only knew
oh, if you knew

i love the way your hair falls
over your closed eyelids
did you know your fingers
relax bit by bit,
then lay still
if you watch long enough
your face seems to change shape
completely
becoming more of the face of an
angel

if you only knew
oh, if you knew

and when your eyelids part
and the sleep is wiped
from your eyes
and you smile

youre my best friend again
and not just someone alseep
my best friend that im in love
with
