While You Were Sleeping

I saw no eyes,
No boyish grin,
Just innocence,
In sleep,

It made me drift,
Into the past,
Before,
We came to weep.

Tied here by,
This strangled love,
We fear,
To walk away,

Though sorrow eats,
Our desperate hearts,
We stay,
Just one more day.

In these moments,
As you slumber,
You are,
Who I once knew,

But in the waking world,
My love,
I know,
That we are through.

I'll memorize,
Your sleeping face,
The one of love,
I know,

Gone before you wake,
Sweet dreams,
I have to,
Let you go.
