Waking Up
I catch you as you quietly
try to slip away from me.
"Just stay awhile," I beg of you
but you ignore my plea.
You leave me lying in my bed,
sighing wistfully.
I yearn for you to linger on,
and kiss my tired eyes.
I know you've spent the night with me,
but with you, time just flies.
And now, just as the day begins,
I want you, I realize.
Just one more warm embrace, my love
A few moments with you.
Why must I let you go each morn?
Why must we part anew?
But go you must - so woefully,
I must bid you adieu.
I know you will come back to me,
And smooth my weary head.
Sweet Slumber, I love you so much,
'tis the mornings that I dread.
I only wish that I could sleep
Just a little longer in bed!

wow ano. great piece.
while reading it a second time after knowing the last lines, a thought came up. what if the sleep listens to you and embraces you for eternity? but by the time i came down, while the above thought still fresh in the head, i saw that you want it for 'just a little longer' and not for eternity.
A good mushy poem:)!
"but with you, time just flies.
And now, just as the day begins,
