Insomnia keeps me awake....
I just wish I could sleep.

(as I drift away this night.........
.......I see this little scene)

I gave myself a precious gift.
Wrapped it within my heart.

It was the memory of your kiss,
and the feel of your beating heart.

I placed the kiss beneath my
pillow.
Wrapped it with a tiny bow.

Is this a dream, is this real?
I couldn't tell anymore.

All I could see was me smiling,
no longer living in such hell.

I held my hand out to you,
A warning; "I'd have to go."

You smiled as you pulled me
gently..... tighter.
Held me closely in your arms.

You whispered sweetly into my ear,
{I'll forever keep you from harm}

I smiled as I leaned in and spoke
gently into your ear.
I said the words I had longed to speak,
and you had longed to hear.

I lied my head upon your shoulder
with my hand in yours.
Our hearts seemed to beat in time
again, for now and forever more.

You are my angel, you are my soul
My heartache and heartbeat.

You are the love of my life.
Even as we sleep.

I reached beneath my pillow.
Felt for the tiny bow.....

I pulled gently on the strings,
it was like letting go of my soul.

Alas, I woke up to find,
that was the day I let you go.

(Insomnia once again......)
