Let me not stop...

Let me not touch
you any more
as you sleep so deep
under the stars

Let me not stare
at you any more
as your closed eyes weave
dreams of colour

Let me not wake
you up at this hour
as the game of hide and seek
between the cloud and the moon is not yet over

Let me not pull up
the covers
as the beautiful feet lay bare
showing strangers the door

Let me not stop loving
you more and more
and a dawn must break
when the clouds will clear

and a smiling you will find me
along the morning star
the most unlikely and the most lovable person
you are next only to a mother
