You

When I close my eyes and rest my soul, my mind goes empty and sleep unfolds
The silence of the darkness, the quiet of the night
When I suddenly awake in the chill of night, my heart it quickens, my chest is tight
I know it’s late, I know I’m not at home.

Slowly then a warm envelopes my whole, it tells me hey you’re not alone
Then I hear your breath and I feel your warmth
I’ll hold your hand and feel so safe, that I can close my eyes in your embrace
To dream the dreams and rest my mind

It may be ridiculous and crazy too, but that’s just me, what am I to do
Either get some sleep or none at all
And so I got my sleep and rest, because you were there and you did your best
To do what you set out to do

There can never be words that I can pick, to say my thanks coz that’d be too quick
Without the basis or essence of meaning
There can never be enough that I can say, to tell you, I know you went out of your way
To give me the solace I needed to have

I could never give myself to anyone before; it was not required, never called for
Too many conditions and complications
You brought me to places I’ve never been and situations that I have never seen
Or ever thought I’d face

Summations will not do, because it’s you
So I will take more care, although sometimes I don’t dare
And for all that I don’t say, either tomorrow, yesterday or today
Know that it’s only because its YOU.
