Sleepless Nights

I can’t sleep because of you

During the night your face comes into view

Thinking about your face, your body, your smile, your talk.

Wishing that one day on a date we’ll walk

Together hand in hand, on the road as a couple

Tasting your lips in the dark, soft and supple.

 

Rain on your lips and your eyes tight closed

Astonished by your beauty and perplexed why it’s me you chose.

Your arms up to my neck and mine down your waist

Pressing into each other and exploring in a haste.

 

Once apart, we look at each other

Thinking in our minds if we could be together

Running my hands through my hair in a shy expression

Wondering if my proposal will reveal my desperation.

 

Looking in her eyes to read her thoughts

Wondering if she knew that I loved her a lot.

My cheeks turned red when her eyes were on me

Yearning to call her my honey and my baby.

Wondering when my sleepless nights will end

And when we’ll wear our wedding bands.

 

Thinking all this I knelt to the ground

And pulled out a ring as she stood astounded.

I told her, “I love you”

And she replied that she did too.

 

Hearing this I held her in my arms and swung her around

While she screamed to put her on the ground.

I sat her on the ground and said:

I can’t sleep because of you

During the night your face comes into view.

I hope that now my sleepless nights will end

And guess what? In a week we’ll wear our wedding bands!
