Awake by Melodie Yvonne

I’m not sure if I’ll sleep again
It’s still so hard to be your friend
And oh so how I long to touch you
There’s just no one else above you

I’m not sure if I’ll sleep this night
I close my eyes and see your light
A spark from just a quick embrace
It burns so bright etching your face

Oh so how I long to touch you
There’s just no one else above you

I’m not sure if I’ll sleep tonight
I feel your fingers on my side
And I don’t care if I’ll sleep again
Just please don’t let this sweetness end

Oh so how I long to touch you
Wish you felt the same ‘bout me too
Oh so how I long to touch you
There’s still no one else above you

    Your verses glow like midnight set aflame by longing,
    a dream so vivid it outshines the boundary between sleep and waking.
