disappearing

The earth is soft under my naked feet

Spring reminds me of my life in colour

Striving for the cool breeze to wake you

And watching your eyelashes flicker

I laugh when you talk in your sleep

And now your eyes open and warm me

My lips yearn for your lips

I want to touch you, and I do

"Oh give me a kiss", I ask softly

When you do, I know it is true

What they say about being in love.

You nestle your head in my bosom

I pull you closer still and you want to

Then you tell me all over again

What makes you want me so much

I sigh, and no longer wonder why

My world is a happier place

I listen to the birds and it seems

That all their songs are just for me

I watch a cat walk along a wall

You watch me staring out at it

As you play with my hair,

I ask about 'her', and you reply,

'Only you, always only you'.

I know you lie but I am forgiving

Until, I can find my own way too

Your drowsy face seems unfamiliar

I can see that you are disappearing

As each day you turn more to her

I know it wont be long now,

It will all be over very soon

Until it is I will keep hoping

That Spring doesn't remind me

Of you sleeping in my arms.
