Late Night

I've lost the ability to sleep again.

A long night its been.

I could sit here with my eyes closed in the dark,

Or open them to the stars.

See the light you've brought in to my life, and keep the positive mindset.

Feel the love, and know that even if we're 300 miles apart

That we'll make it.

I love you, I love you.

I love you, for everything.
For everytime you kiss my head when you think I'm sleeping.

For everytime your fingers dance through my hair.

For everytime you give me eskimo kisses.

You give me the world, and more.

I want to give you everything you want, and more.

I want to be the person you can tell your wildest dreams.

And the person who's shoulder you cry on.

I want to have deep discussions with you.

And ask you what your favorite animal is.

I want to travel the world with you.

And sit on our couch drinking hot coco.

I want to have a family with you.

And have quiet moments all to ourselves.

I want to build a life with you, that I thought I couldn't have because I was damaged.

Broken.

Unrepreable.

But you've shown me, that I never was.

That I'm still me after all these years.

A quirky, fun, outspoken woman.

Who's beautiful, and has a way with words that can touch your heart.

That I can still care so deeply for another human, without the fear of being hurt.

I know that you're the one, the only person I will spend the rest of my life with.

Until the day were old and wrinkly sitting on our porch, and talking about the days we were young.

Having large family gatherings with our descendants.

And on the day I'm on my deathbed staring up at you for one last time, I'll remember the day I knew you were the one.

Laying on the top bunk while you played with my hair as I was sleeping, and memorizing every part of my face with your thumb.

Telling me you loved me when you thought I was asleep.

And I'll drift off in to that sleep.

In to the stars knowing it won't be long

Before I see you again.
