Everything changing as you sleep tonight
He is so close, yet so far away!
You back away because of fright
Not ready for this today.

You love him forever
His love sleeps tonight
Love you? Never!
Not for life.

It sucks
But...
It's luck
For this nut

For care you seek
Three inches away
Four hours, twice a week
But it's only everyday.

Things changing as you sleep tonight
Dream of the prince, you know you just might
A dream he'll remain, forever tonight.

&quot;You know you&rsquo;re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is &ndash; wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you&rsquo;re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself.&quot;
