Every need that as I fall asleep you creep into my bed
You whisper in my ear memories
They dance like marionettes as silhouettes on my walls
Bringing you back to my arms holding you as I’ve lost you
Waking next to you as morning light penetrates our window
Reaching over to touch your face as you sleep
Watching those memories dancing like marionettes
On your smile like a silhouette of your hearts desire
After all the dreaming is over
We’ve risen from our bed as quiet as a babies sigh
The coffee mug gripped tight in your hand
Our eyes meet bringing me to ponder all the things I am thankful for
Walking in out of the rain of loneliness
Tightly held hands warm to touch
We match the broken pieces of what we wanted
Settling into the happiness we are
Pondering all the things we are thankful for
