~Reason to Wake Up~
An Italian Sonnet

Hush Love, don't cry, let me whisper for a while.
Listen, you're beautiful, believe me it's true.
It's about time someone said that to you.
So stop crying, Love, and hold me for a while.
Don't you know I'd die a thousand deaths to see you smile,
To watch you crack your mask and let your soul shine through?
And there's nothing in the world that I'd rather do,
Than gaze into your crystal eyes and hold you for a while.
And every night, I pray for morning, to see you again,
Cause every moment apart is a moment gone to waste.
Every time I hear your voice, I forget all the pain,
And the nightmares drain away every time I see your face.
So whisper "Goodbye, I love you," and leave my mind
With sweet dreams of you to while away the time.
