It's 3 am and quiet.
Your eyelids flutter as you dream.
My head longs to hit the pillow but I can't sleep.
If I blink I might miss something.
The moon is bright and kisses you from your window- you look so perfect in its light.
The stars lust after the gleam in your tired eyes.
They hypnotize me too.
They are strung above us, stealing glances at you through the shades.
Time slips by so slyly, morning is already creeping in.
Even the sun can't resist you.
It envies your soul
because it is filled with more light than the brightest of days
and creates beautiful life everywhere it shines.
Tangled beside you,
I know why I long to stay awake.
Even the whole universe knows how mesmerizing you are
while you're fast asleep.
