I never sleep when...

entry picture

I never sleep when

looking at you,

 

I never sleep when

counting your breaths,

 

I never sleep when

watching you dress,

when you serve a dish...

when you write a report...

or choosing wine...

 

I never sleep

when you're turning  a page...

when you're sitting astride...

when you're folding your arms and

pushing your toes into me.

 

I never sleep when

you're sighing at an excuse:

when you're holding my face:

 

yes:

 

when you're holding my face:

When holding my face.
