As he sleeps next to me I wonder,
Does he understand what I see
When I look into his gentle eyes
Every time he says he loves me?

As he sleeps next to me I wonder,
Does he realize he rescued me,
Not from the perils of the world
But from hurt even I couldn't see?

As he sleeps next to me I wonder,
If he loses himself in our embrace?
Does he feel butterflies like I do 
As his kisses trail along my face?

As he sleeps next to me I wonder,
How does he always know exactly 
What to say at the exact moment 
Insecurity begins to wash over me?

As he sleeps next to me I wonder,
Will I be able to fill his beautiful soul
With the same selfless raw love 
Filling mine where once was a hole?

As he sleeps next to me I wonder,
If I will ever find words to convey 
How lucky I am to watch him sleep
As we end another beautiful day?

As he sleeps next to me I wonder,
If he craves the feel of my bare skin,
The same way I ache for his touch
Which makes me feel wanted again?

As he sleeps I snuggle close to him
Tangling my body in his sleepy arms.
I close my eyes and listen to him rest
Knowing I am safe from life’s harms.
