In Your Heart

In Your Heart

Last night
Sleeping with you
Felt like forever
Felt like a lifetime
Lying next to you

I didn’t have much space
Or covers
Somehow they end up
On your side
It always happens

But I was ok
Because I had all the space
I needed
In your heart

I didn’t sleep much

You did
Peaceful
Quiet
And safe

Even though I tossed and turned
I was happy
Because
You were safe in my arms
And I was fast asleep
In your heart

And when I wake
The next morning
Shave and straighten my tie
Out the door
But not before a kiss
On my cheek
From you

And as I leave
I know one thing
I’ll always be
Forever
In your heart
