Through the curtains of my window,
A fading moonlight filters through,
Casting shadows across your face--
For hours I watch you.

I can hear your gentle snoring
In that time before the dawn,
To my ears the sound is comfort.
To my ears it means you're home.

You look so peaceful as you're sleeping,
Without a care in the world.
You missed our movie date last night;
I was *not* a happy girl.

The dinner I prepared for you
Is still sitting on the stove.
The wine, once chilled, is warm now,
But your bath water's icy cold.

How I dread what I know is coming-
That persistent purr, then a thump.
Sometimes I wish it to go away
And leave us both alone.

I exist as your clock radio.
I shut the alarm off long ago.
I don't like being so accommodating;
I don't like when you're not home.

Flat on your stomach, your head by my side,
You are still fully clothed--
One leather-coat arm wrapped 'round me.
It's times like this I love you so.

I reach down to gently brush
A wisp of hair back from your brow;
Afraid to touch you, for fear you'll awaken.
Take your rest and sleep for now.

You know sometimes I wonder,
Where do you go to in your dreams?
What is it that you dream of?
Is it your next save? Is it me?

The sun streams through the window;
I hold my hand up to the light.
The diamond sparkles so beautifully
I can't believe you made you mine.

But, inside my heart is longing;
I wish you'd stay with me today.
Then once again you'll be surrendered
To your duties--to your saves.

There's something I need to tell you.
Of all the lives that you've saved,
There's a new life growing in me--
But this life is one you made.

I can hardly wait to tell you.
And I can't wait to see your smile.
I can't wait till you awaken--

Thump!

MMMEEEEOOOWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!
