sleep find me (Mi's side)

Sleep find me

“Close your eyes

Get some sleep,

It’s to late now

To change anything,

But it’s all right,

Get some sleep,

It’s so dark outside

So close your eyes

And feel the wind turn round,

If your not lost I guess that makes you found.”

Newton Faulkner

Lullaby

Esmee stayed lying next to me for a long time gently stroking through my hair as I kept my body up close with hers. Nurses came in and out checking on my drips and things some passing comment about Esmee not really being aloud on the bed and others ignoring her completely, however what ever was said she did not move from my side and eventually the nurses that had a problem with it gave up and stopped moaning.

“Why don’t you try and get some sleep Mi? It has been a long day and you must be tired out.”

“If I close my eyes I am scared you will be gone, that when I wake up again I will be alone, I rather stay awake then risk that.”

“You can sleep; I will still be here when you wake up.” Esmee confirmed sincerely stroking her fingers through my hair. “I won’t leave you.”

“I am sorry that I upset you Esmee, I didn’t mean to hurt you.”

“Hush now little kitten, it’s time to close those tired eyes and dream so happy dreams.” Esmee soothed musically bending over and kissing me gently on the fore head before she started singing and I new resistance was futile so I closed my eyes snuggled up into my ball and aloud my self to drift off safe in the knowledge that for once in this world I was not alone.
