Effortlessly
Lay next to me
My sweet angel
I’m not feeling well
And can not sleep
Slowly stroke my hair
Gaze at me with your peering eyes
That are able to see into my soul
Gently kiss my face
With lips that heal whenever they touch me
Tell me how special I am to you
Tell me you will always have my back
Tell me you will be there for me when I fall
That you will be patient with me
When I struggle
To see things clearly
When I struggle
To pick myself up
Or find my way
Tell me you won’t turn your back on me
When I act like a fool
Or make a mistake
Or hurt you or another
With my own misplaced pain
Tell me you love me
Tell me you adore me
Tell me you want me
Tell me that I give you what you want
Tell me that I give you what you need
And know that I love you with everything I am and ever will be
Then watch me
As I slowly fall asleep
And drift away to a place
Where it’s just you and me
Witness my peace
You give me that
My love
Effortlessly
Just by stroking my hair
And kissing my face
And telling me that you love me.....

Truly....beautiful. What everyone wants from the person they love, but very few know how to express.
Thank you Kim. Sometimes just laying next to the person you love and stroking their hair communicates so much more than we could possibly realize.....
