It's Not Just My Bed

Picture the perfect dream

A shelter from the rain

Together in time

Waking up with your arms around me

Where do the nightmares form?

Frantically wake up with a delirious cry

Fingers painfully grip the sheets

As my heart slows, I watch you sleep

Settle back with a lazy moan

Laying beneath you, hearing the storm

A gentle whisper in my ear

Hush love, I'm here

It's our bed

I'm not alone

Eyes slowly close

I breathe you in

It's not just my bed
