The moonlight danced on his face as beautiful as ever.

He shivered as a bitter wind swept past.

Memories were playing in the pages of his mind.

He tore a piece of parchment and scribbled his last few words with the very little ink left in is pen.

He wrote,

Sometimes when I sleep,

It is not merely the closing of my eyes to a world of darkness.

Because when I sleep,

And if im lucky,

I get to dream of you.

So I sleep and I sleep.

Sometimes when I sleep,

For the moment the pain is gone.

The rejection,

the suffering,

the loneliness,

It goes away…

Because when I sleep,

And when I dream of you,

I find hope when I look into your eyes.

So I sleep and I sleep.

Sometimes when I sleep,

And when you appear in my dreams,

I can hold your hand,

Give you a kiss,

And then we would lie down next to each other under the stars.

Then with your sweet voice you would whisper to me,

I love you,

Everything is going to be okay.

So I sleep and I sleep.

Sometimes when I sleep,

The world is mine.

And when I close my eyes,

Sometimes it is not what it seems.

I hope youre happy now that Im gone.

Just promise me you will smile,

Because you look beautiful when you do.

Maybe one day ill sleep,

And never wake up.

Then maybe I will smile.

I love you.

Forever.
