we were both yawning
because it was night to me
and you didn't sleep your night.
you couldn't bear to see me awake so late
for I protested to your goodnight
even if my yawn gave me away.
i sat with a pout looking at you
and you said goodnight, baby with a love you.

i looked at you dumbfounded and
at my mind's short circuit, asked you to repeat.
i said goodnight and i love you,
you repeated with a smile while gauging my reaction
he loves me my soul screamed even with the lack of i.

i could feel honey spilling through my bones
warmth spreading over my skin
and a hint of shyness blooming
as i clearly remember hiding my face
behind my brunette locks with a equally shy smile
as i said softly, with the same lacking,
love you too. sweet dreams baby.
