"I love you most..."

I love you most when I can’t fall asleep

And you are sleeping. I’m compelled to wake you.

You seem so fragile, that I’m scared to break you,

Until I’m certain that you’ve fallen deep.

I dare to kiss you then, convincingly enough

So as to wake a soundly sleeping infant,

Yet, soothingly enough, so in that instant,

Your dreams would go uninterrupted, love.
