Opening my eyes
I see you sleeping beside me
I reach out to stroke your hair
greying at the edges, soft and smooth.

Without You
Opening my eyes
I see you sleeping beside me
I reach out to stroke your hair
greying at the edges, soft and smooth.
A shiver courses through me
as the thought of you not being here invades
the tranquillity of the moment.
You are my all, my very being, my love
