Sleep Talking

Darling, I am floating away

On the ocean of my mind.

Where land is only legend

Or a wisp of hope in the wind.

I may not remember you tomorrow—

Perhaps I am hoping that I won’t.

There is much to occupy here

While the rest fades away.

I probably won’t see you when I see you,

But you know all about that.

I never know when to leave a party

Except in private.

I will be gone when you wake up,

And I am not going anywhere.
