I went to your room last night
I just wanted to say "sweet dreams"
But you were already asleep
So I sat on your bed and watched you
I could hear you softly breathing
I watched your chest rise and fall
Starlight shone through your window
And rested on your hair
As it spread out on your pillow
Forgive me, Kathryn
For staying there all through the
night
And gazing at you
Lost in your face
While you are lost in your dreams
By dawn I fell into my own
I remember
For just a moment in the morning
light
I opened my eyes
And I saw you sitting there
You were hugging your knees
And looking at me
Do you do the same?
Do you stare at me
And wonder?
Do you watch me at night
The same way I sometimes watch you
When you sleep?
THE END
