we have a little conversation at

three a m about sleeping and not sleeping

and what's the matter and so on

and it ends with a cuddle and a sigh

i'm sorry   and i shouldn't be thinking

about this   but i'm thinking about terri

how we called each other babycakes

and baby-girl   and   again   i'm sorry   

how we kissed the night away   and

sleeping or not sleeping never came up

now i have to lie here feeling guilty

for having someone other than my love

on my mind   you see   terri and i

were great   terrific   but it wasn't love

this is   and how or why my mind

is on someone else leaves me sleepless
