I open my eyes after a night of dreams
To my surprise, I've been blessed
Perhaps it shouldn't be a surprise
But you should know, my heart is scarred
A woman, my best friend, lays there
Beneath the sheets and undressed
She is heavy in perfect sleep
I remember when I first saw her
And when I first knew she'd be in my heart
Her breathing is rhythmic and easy
I place a soft kiss upon her head
This is a sight I'd thought I'd never see
I'd have more faith that I'd be dead
Than to be joined in life
By such a vision of love and beauty
