Give Me a Reason

(to Ms. Gibran)

Give me a reason to sleep without dreaming.
Give me a reason to sleep without sleeping.
Give me a reason to sleep without singing.
Give me a reason to sleep without writing.

Give me a reason to sleep without me.
Give me a reason to sleep without you.

My sleep without you is like Adam without Eve.
My sleep without you is like Josef without Zuleikha.
My sleep without you is like Majnun without Laila.
My sleep without you is like Rumi without Shams.

What more can I say?

I can't sleep.
I can't sleep.
I can't sleep.

Give me a reason my love.

Give me a reason to sleep.
