Next Best Thing Poem by Kewayne Wadley

At night, when I close my eyes
And sleep finds me.
You're the dream that catches me
By surprise.
We laugh and we talk.
We find ourselves doing any and
Everything.
Life itself moves pretty fast
And at times we cannot do everything
We set out to do before the day ends.
When I least expect it.
You tiptoe through the night
And find me when I least expect it.
It might not be a kiss goodnight
Per Say.
But it definitely is the closest
And next best thing.
No matter how busy we both become.
At night, when I close my eyes
And sleep finds me.
You're the dream that catches me
By surprise.
The one dream I never want
To wake up from
