Don't you know

As we lie here in the dark,
Your fingers whisper to my skin.
They tell me to be patient,
Though you know I never can.
My lips rush to meet yours,
Tripping over heavy sighs,
My body sings your favorite
Bedroom lullabies.
Your eyes speak the volumes
Your words never could,
For words can be misread,
misheard, misunderstood.
I want you in the worst way,
Yet you love me in the best.
I live to make you sleepless,
I'll never let you rest.
For if you fell asleep, you know,
I'd be alone again.
And to be alone with all my thoughts,
Is more than I can stand.
