All Night Long

All Night Long

By Evan Jameson

At night-time, when I was afraid
and couldnt sleep,
youd be there, resting your head
on the pillow next to mine.

Holding my hand
youd whisper our tales into my ear
turning distant tears
into tender smiles.

I loved the sound
of your hushed voice,
the special words you wove into life
and the feelings you nurtured inside me.

Fighting sleep, I always knew
I was about to lose you
when your voice drifted
and transformed into a sweet dream.

Sometimes, Id wake up just as your hand left mine
or when you covered me with my blanket.
It felt so comforting
the way you always left me feeling warm.

Made it easier when you had to go,
before you were found missing
from your own bed
by the first light of dawn.

At other times,
Id awaken when you moved the hair from my eyes
and kissed me lightly on the lips
before saying goodnight, keep well.

Sometimes, I never woke at all,
because I found you deep within my dreams
and those were the times I slept especially well
all night long.
