Better

You are the reason behind my smile.
You are the reason why I-
Lie awake at night, thinking,
Running every word you've said
Through my mind.
Dreams aren't so important anymore,
When the reality of you is all-
I've ever dreamed of.
But when I do dream,
You're the one keeping the nightmares away,
Gently covering my unconscious mind
With beautiful thoughts
And caressing my troubled soul
With your love,
Giving me hope for better days.

You're the reason why I'm smiling once again.
