For I should be snoring Nose-
D
E
E
P in pillows, cocooned in blankets.
But, I'm thinking of you.

Engulfed in darkness of the
N
I
G
H
T might not be the right time to do so.
But I lay sleepless and dreamless:
I'm thinking of you.

I should be hugging teddy bears,
Counting S
H
E
E
P, shooting rockets in my head.
And I know I should be sleeping to see what's ahead.

But this bed is so rocky
And I'm without luck.
My Z's and my yawns get swept under rugs.
I know my eyes beg to
C
L
O
S
E
In this lonely, dark room.

But in silence and longing;
I'm thinking of you.
