The Watcher 

In peaceful rest, your eyes are kissed
with gentle sleep. I watch over you
with passion and pride and know where
my heart belongs.

I wait for you to waken, anticipating
your bright smile and warm affection.
With each soft breath and subtle sleeping
move I am a heartbeat away from greeting
you with a touch, a smile, a kiss.

So intense are my feelings for want of you
that when we first met I sometimes shaded
my thoughts for fear of being judged too
much of a romantic. Now, together, I know
that the romance was not mine to give, but
yours to inspire.

I will not wake you from your soft sleep, nor
disturb your dreams. They are yours to experience.
I am content to sit and watch over my dream.
Sleep, my love. I am here.

May no gift be too small to give, nor too simple to receive, which is wrapped in thoughtfulness and tied with love. -- by L.O. Baird

hi! Thanx for the comment. You're so right about Hilary. Anyway. I'm sort of ready. I don't want to back to school though because I'm having too much fun right now! But atleast I'll be able to see the friends I haven't seen since June. I like mostly all types of rock. I like Bowling for soup too. But my all time favorite bands are Green Day (#1). and the Killers are a close second. Anyway, thanks for the comment!
