Sleeping beauty

I sit next to you
on the edge of your bed.
Trying to ease your weary soul.
I feel you close and whisper
gentle words you can't even hear.
I watch the sleep slowly
take you in,
and hope your dreams will ever be sweet.
Your grasp weakens as you fade
into the dreamworld.
I hope I'd meet you there,
because it pains me to leave you here...
But as the sun will rise and awaken you from slumber.
So will I see you again soon.
