Sleepless Angels

Our Story Each Night

I lay awake each night
Wondering if you're thinking of me too.
Amazed at the sight
Of another face that belongs to you.

Tears that somehow sneak past my eyes
Splash next to my ears in salty pools.
As I lay there staring at the skies
Remembering
"No Rules"

In my dreams you kiss me
In my dreams you never let me go.
We are who we want to be
"No rules"
And our unyielding love begins to grow.

Memories swarm my mind
Remembering the summer's sky.
Slowly I learned to find
The one who would hold me if ever I should cry.

Two AM now
Still incomplete.
I'll never be able to explain just how
I miss you tickling my feet.

Your 242 miles from my side
And I dread every moment apart.
Who else am I to confide
When you're the only one that holds my heart.

The sun rise just isn't the same
The sunset makes me want to run.
Without you it feels like a game
A game I'll never manage to outrun.

"Sleep With Angels"

You always say before the phone goes dead.

"I Love You"

I whisper instead.

Without you here
The angels are sleepless too.
It's pretty clear
Just how much I truly do love you.

It hurts to listen to your voice
Knowing I can't just show up and fall asleep in your arms.
We weren't given much of a choice
But shortly we will be out of reach from these harms.

Words will never be enough
Time will never last as long.
This distance is tough
But you and I both know we are strong.

There's a ring waiting somewhere
To be placed upon this hand.
For now this finger lies bare
Until the day comes that forever is where we stand.

Sleepless Angels cry
And still I lay here lost in thought.
Though I don't know why
Somewhere along the line I forgot

Now I am sound asleep
Dreaming of your kiss.
Forever will be ours to keep
Our final bliss.

[I miss you my love]
