While you sleep

As I lay here, in our bed

Happy, as one man can be.

Holding you while you sleep,

You place your head upon my chest.

As I lay and watch you sleep,

I drift off and start to ponder,

I face the bitter truth,

you will never be mine.

All I have is this moment,

I live for the time I spend with you

As the clock ticks on,

I fall deeper, consumed by you.

I have all the feelings inside,

to take the next step.

But, no matter what I do or say,

nothing will change between us.

When you wake, you will have no idea,

of all the thoughts I have for you,

all my hopes, all my dreams.

Who am I to change the fact,

that you belong to someone else.
