I don't

I don't go to sleep without saying
I miss you.
I don't go to sleep without saying
I wish you, were here.
I don't go to sleep without saying
I love you.
I don't go to sleep without saying
I need you.

I don't go to sleep without saying
I'll pray for you
I don't go to sleep without saying
Where are you?
I don't go to sleep without saying
I'll dream about you.
I don't go to sleep without asking
do you miss me?

I have never even met you! but I
sure do miss you. I want to know
your name, I want to know your
life. I want to know what your
about. I want to know what you fear
and what you love.
I'm not dumb I promise, I would
never admit to dreaming. It seems
so childish. But sadly I do, I
can't help it.

I try so hard to ignore it but
I simply cannot. I find ways to
not think about it but they don't
last.
My mind soon strays back again.
It's so frustrating, because it
weighs my heart down so much.
But alas no matter how hard I
try. I cannot get you off my mind

Dear Lord. I pray, protection for
you, and I pray protection for me
so we both survive these fires.
Once again I'm going to sleep,
my thoughts travel from my prayers
to you. I wish I knew your name
I close my eyes and imagine, but no
picture appears

And this pleases me because It makes
the wait easier.
Goodnight.

One more thing.
I won't forget you.
