Sweet Dreams, Love

i dial your number, you're half asleep
you say my name and i blush
"Let Love Bleed Red" plays in the background and i tell you to sleep
you say no, and i sigh, knowing that you won't go back to sleep
so i whisper that i love you and you whisper it back to me
soon enough i hear your breathing
steady,even,soft
as my voice acts like a lullaby
lulling you into hopefully sweet dreams
"sweet dreams, sleep well, always remember i love you"
i say, and i can hear you smile
as you say you love me too
i promise you,
i'll still be here when you wake up
miles may separate us
but i'll always be just a phone call away
so fall asleep to my voice,
and i'll hold this memory forever
of your steady breathing
and this perfect contentment
