THE NIGHT IS YOURS

The night is yours
and you lay silent.
I shift slightly
to look at your face.
So sweet and innocent
like a sleeping child.
I touch your cheek
so soft and smooth.
I brush your hair back
lightly with my hand.
Your eyes open
and look straight into mine.
I freeze
not knowing what to say.
I smile
and you reply.
You move closer
and wrap your arms around me.
You close your eyes
with a sigh.
