Keep Me Safe While I Sleep Poem by Yvette Flores

When we talk on the phone, i secretly wish we'd both fall asleep
One night you actually feel asleep, because you were extremely tired
For a while i stayed on the phone, just listening to you sleep
That same night, when i went to sleep, i actually had a dream
I dreamed that you were holding me
you were keeping me safe, and warm
I felt your arms around me, holding me as if you didnt want to let me go, or you didnt want me to leave
One day i hope that dream will come true, and you'll actually be keeping me safe while i sleep right next to you :)
