Being the first one to fall asleep means
cuddling you until I dream and
hearing your voice as my lullaby and
knowing you'll protect me from the monsters.

Being the last one to fall asleep means
watching you as you dream and
brushing the hair away from your face and
pulling up the covers to keep you warm.

Being the first one to wake up means
seeing your face in the morning light and
being able to kiss you awake and
surprising you with breakfast and flowers.

Being the last one to wake up means
being kissed awake and
having you be the first thing I see and
sharing flowers and breakfast in bed.
