I don’t want to wake you
When you’re sleeping so quiet
on my shoulder.

I don’t want to brush your
Hair back down from your face
or turn down the stereo.

I don’t want to sing in
the rain nor do I want
to sail away into the sunset.

I don’t want to close the curtains
and shut out the moon
Shining down on us
Like we are in the spotlight
of some imaginary film.

I want to spend
this moment
Alone in thought.

I want to listen
to the cars parking
in the distance.

I want to listen
to the wind
Brush against the tree
Almost like
it was somebody
Gently snoozing.

But most of all,
I don’t want to wake you
When you’re sleeping so quiet
on my shoulder.
