"Good Night, Sweet Dreams"

I call her up late at night today,
later than usual.
She is sleeping,
I imagine how beautiful she must look,
as she sleeps.
She picks up the phone,
says "What took you so long?"
"I had no money in my cell", I say,
"We can't talk for long".
"It's okay, I had a long day, we'll talk tomorrow"
She says that she'll call me up tomorrow at night.
I wait with bated breath as she whispers
those magical words.
"Good night, sweet dreams."
And I know she really means it.
