Sometimes when I’m lying in my bed at night, <br />I battle to fall asleep. <br />So much is going through my mind. <br />I wondered if you’d ever know: how much you keep me up? <br />Every time I closed my eyes, <br />I see you smiling; your gentle laughter’s in my ears. <br />Yet I wondered, and wondered more, <br />Why I saw sorrow in your eyes? <br />I wish I knew, but dared not ask: <br />What brings you nightmares late at night? <br />I’m in no position to touch the locks, <br />So I hope she’d make it right. <br />While I'll just try to be a friend; <br />An acquaintance when you need; <br />Someone who you know will hold you tight, <br />When sadness, sorrow leaks... <br />I’ll stay out of radius to save you trouble, <br />And try my best to restrict the lines, <br />But every time you look at me, <br />I’ll send you a smile with a happy face, <br />And hope that one day, I’ll see that you <br />Return a real smile back to me.<br /><br />Shirley K.W.
