...in the glimpses of sunlight

In the early morning,

when I feel you stirring

I ask if you are awake

And you answer with

your sigh...

I know you had

a sleepless night and

I ask,"what's wrong?"

And you lie

with "Nothing"

But I know,

I know its the job,

keeping you awake

but then I am

frightened and think

"what if it's me..."

And I take you're hand

and let you know

that you are under a lot

of pressure, and ask

if you want to talk

about it...

And when i don't get

a response, I tell you

If its me keeping

you awake...

You can be honest...

And I hear back

the reply, "why do you say that?"

and I say, "because we are human...

sometimes, love is not enough"

And I look at you in

the early morning light

and tell you

I love you so much

I never want to

be your burden

to be someone you have

Fallen out of love with

I love you so much I would

want you to be happy and

not be with someone

you don't love like that

Anymore...

And a tear comes

to your eye...

"No, you dope...

it's not you..."

I wipe the tear thats

formed and say

"Good...because

the sun doesn't rise

without you..."

And that starts

the flood of tears

I didn't want...

not on this day...

not from insecurities

in the glimpses of sunlight
