Sleepless

I know I need to sleep tonight,
But thoughts of you keep me awake.
I saw a picture of you today.
Saw the smile that lit your face.
Saw your eyes that shone with joy.
And I wonder what made you smile?
Wishing I might know the reason.
That I too might smile,
Forced to be content with your memory
To light the smile on my face instead
As I surrender to sleep tonight.
