When we hit morning light
In the silence of dawn
I’m always afraid
You will be gone
As my eyes slowly open
And the lights move in
You’re with me
So close, so deep within
I watch you in silence
You’re no illusion
You’re as real as can be
As I watch you, silently
I count your breaths
And watch you dream
Knowing I’ll never know
What you’ve just seen
I put your hand
Upon my heart
And turn around
Knowing in dreams you’ll hear it pound
