I am asleep in bed,

At Dawn.

I am warm and cozy,

At Dawn.

I am dreaming,

At Dawn.

My life has come,

It has simplified. 

I am a girlfriend,

An emplyee,

A person.

I am me.

No more dishes,

No more paperwork,

No more expectations,

No more,

No more,

No more.

I am free,

I am me. 

I am asleep in bed,

At Dawn but...

I am happy.

For once.
