Tired & Sleepless

It's not that I expected
a deep blue sky--
a bit tired, a bit sleepless
Your eyes
Sometimes brown
Sometimes black...
No, I didn't
But you heard me
Our conversations
Our words--spoken together 
Sometimes almost mute
Sometimes silent; holding hand
Your soft
mine a little harder
You asked why?
I said I had to win
many battles
to reach to you
--my oasis
--my paradise
