Dreams of You

Early in the morning
as the sun begins to rise
thoughts of you run through my head
long before I open my eyes.

Dreams about that radiant smile
lighting up your face
forever holding me captive
with no desire to escape.

Envisioning your beautiful brown eyes
and the love that they hold
knowing how they warm my heart
praying they never turn cold.

Imagining your long dark hair
brushing softly across my face
as you hold me close to you
in your loving embrace.

Picturing your inviting lips
pressed passionately on my own
hoping you know that I am yours
forever yours alone.

As I awaken and see that I
am lying next to you
I always whisper thank you
for making my dreams come true.
