The silence rings out when you sleep,
I'm found replaying your voice,
wondering if you dream of me,
praying that God will be with you,


It's hard when we are apart,
when words can't fill our hearts,
when gentleness can't grip our thoughts,
we crave for each moment,
we dread the silence,


We don't know when our eyes will meet,
but we stare at photos,
we gather our most fond memories,
hoping to replace the images,


The silence without you is frightening,
but I know you have to sleep,
you're tired and weak,
and I care too much to see you weary,
its for your own good,
you'll soon be awake...
