sleep

in the bus on my way home
after trying to convince you
to sleep to rest
and thinking i had succeeded
i closed my eyes to think of you
lying in bed with your teddy
and dream of you lying in bed
beside me
holding you
being held by you -
the strange familarity
and unsettling ease -
over and over again in my mind ...

wake me up when you get here

but now
just let me dream of you
