Short Goodnight Love Poems

With every breath, I ache for you, Wishing I could hold you all night. Breathing together in the rhythm of two, And waking entwined at morning’s first light.

As you fall asleep, please know That I have you in my heart. I see your face and love your soul, And know your body like a chart.

I will never forget this night, my love And the things that we said and did. They’re imprinted upon my soul, my love, For as long as we both shall live.

Please don’t fall asleep my dear. Stay awake and whisper in my ear.| Tell me the secrets of your heart, And how we will never be apart.
5. Who Am I?
Who am I to love you so much? Who am I to ask for that love in return? Tonight you have made me the happiest man on Earth, By offering your love so freely and with such tender joy. Goodnight my dearest love. I hold you in my heart.
6. Saying Goodbye
Saying goodbye tonight was hard, And harder even still Is knowing you’re there alone in bed And I’m not sharing that thrill. To be beside you and holding you close Is where I long to be instead.

Goodnight my darling girl. You are my everything — My sun, my stars, the air I breathe, The woman I’ve dreamed of, My place of reprieve.

I’ve never known someone so right Who makes me feel this way. I can’t stop smiling through the day Or fall asleep all night.
9. My Mind’s Eye
I picture you in my mind’s eye As you go about your day. I see you as you’re working, And when you stop at that cafe. Now as you climp into your bed, I’m thinking of you still. Goodnight my lovely angel, All my dreams you do fulfill.
10. Don’t Stop Loving Me
Don’t stop loving me When you say goodbye tonight. Send me a little signal by Turning on your light, So I know that you still love me When it’s time to say goodnight.
11. Isn’t It Funny
Isn’t it funny how all day long We can be together and still Go strong. And now tonight as we Go to bed, I could stay up talking All night instead.
12. Why Should We Part?
I am here and you are there And this separation is simply not fair. It doesn’t make sense that you’re in my heart, But we still must spend the whole night apart. Sweet Dream Goodnight Poems
13. Dream Of Me
Close your eyes and dream of me, And I will dream of you. Remember my eyes, my laugh, my sighs, And I’ll remember too. Keep my name upon your lips As you gently fall asleep. And when you awaken, be sure you know I’m here and in love with you.
14. What’s The Purpose?
What is the purpose of sleep and dreams When my dreams are all about you? I’d rather be with you day and night And conscious of all you do. I’d rather be laughing and loving beside you Than missing you in my sleep. But then Seeing your sleepy face beside me Is a memory I’ll always keep.
15. You’ve Marked Me
I miss you more than words express. You’ve marked me and claimed my heart. I think of you night and day and wish I could see your sweet face and eyes. As you fall asleep tonight, my dear, please Hold me tight in your dreams and when you Awaken in morning’s light my love, just know You’re my treasured queen.
16. The Turning Point
There’s no use hiding or pretending That tonight was a turning point. Your kiss sealed the deal and your Eyes spoke the truth of the love we Both feel in our hearts. So goodnight My new love and sleep the deep sleep Of lovers whose time has come, and Dream of the wonderful day ahead When we are together at last.
17. Sinking In
All I need is for these words to sink Into your dreams where they Put a smile on your lips and A soft sigh in your soul. I love you, I love you You make me whole.
18. It Doesn’t Seem Right
Why do I lose you to the dark, cold night and The call of your bed’s dreamy depths? It doesn’t seem right I’m not there with you Keeping you warm by myself. I’ll be your blanket and pull you in close And feel the sweet beat of your heart. But for now, it seems that all I can do Is wish you a tender goodnight.
19. The Beacon of My Dreams
Goodnight, goodnight my shining light, The beacon of my dreams. You’ve reached inside my heart and sewn The broken pieces together again. With you, I feel whole and happy and free — A love I have never known. Goodnight, goodnight my shining light. I’m lucky to call you my own.
Why do we have to sleep apart, with you So far away? Why must our distance break my heart, knowing You cannot stay? Sleep well my beautiful, darling girl, and know That my love is true. And even though separated by miles, my dear, My heart is there with you.
21. Three Little Words
The three little words you spoke tonight Have magically turned me around And made me understand at last The depth of the love I have found. Goodnight my darling, I hope you know That I send the words back to you, And as you sleep remember these words: I’ll never stop loving you.

Goodnight, goodnight But I cannot sleep. My heart is beating too fast. It’s pounding so hard with Longing for you, and I know for sure, I’ve fallen in love at last.
23. Night Visions
It’s two in the morning and I can’t sleep. I see your face in the visions of the night. Your beauty is a soft and gentle memory Imprinted on my brain. Your love fills me with a peaceful refrain: Sleep well, my love, and know That as you sleep, you are loved so deeply, So deeply like the deep blue sea, the deep Blue of your eyes. The deep blue Of my heart when I’m without you By my side.
24. A Thousand Tomorrows
If I could wake up beside you And watch you as you sleep. Your grateful midnight soldier, A watchman on his keep. Your lovely face in quiet repose Your hair spread out In waves and rows. If I could wake beside you And watch you as you sleep. If I could reach out and touch your face And give myself to you, I’d wrap myself around you and And hold you in my arms. I’d kiss you deep and tenderly and Delight in all your charms. But tonight I’m here without you, As you peacefully sleep alone. I’m here by myself in the midnight hour My longing goes unknown. But tomorrow, tomorrow, and for a thousand Tomorrows to come, when we shall meet again, I’ll hold you in my arms once more and Claim you as my own.
25. The Close of Day
Goodnight my darling At the close of this day, There’s something on my heart I am longing to say… You are my love, my life, and my world. You are my beautiful, perfect sweet girl. As you turn off the lights and close your eyes, Remember you’ve made me the happiest guy.
26. The Memory of Your Lips
I have just left you, But I can never leave you for long. We just kissed, But the memory of your lips On mine still burns. I can never leave you, but even so You are there alone In your bed with your Book, the one you just Told me about and We laughed. And now, I am here. Thinking of you. So I’m not alone.
27. This Night
This is the night when I meant To tell you how much You mean to me. This is the night I wanted to Say that my soul is filled with Love and desire for you. This is the night when my heart Is full with all the tenderness and Joy it can hold. All of these things are firmly true, But since you’re not here, and I’m Not there, I’ll just Hold my words except to say Goodnight to you.
28. Reflections
If you want to know me, Look at yourself in the mirror, Before you fall asleep. You reflect the person I want to be, The person inside this body and mind. With your kiss tonight, you’ve unlocked me. You’ve shown me who I am and who I can become. The door has been flung open, and I stand before You as the man I need to be, and The man I intend to become. Goodnight my soul, my heart, my deepest love. You have unlocked me, and I am yours.
Funny Goodnight Poems
29. Every Part of You
Why should I have to say goodnight When all I want to do, Is hold you in my arms and kiss Every part of you. Why must we sleep apart and feel This loneliness and pain. I think I’ll sneak over to your house now, And rap on your window pane.
30. Unbearable
I cannot bear to say goodnight, So I’ll simply leave you with this: Being with you is more than joy, It’s simply perfect bliss. Tomorrow I know I’ll see you again, But while we wait just know, That as I sleep and dream of you, I’m kissing your big toe.
31. Goodnight Wishes
Will you say goodnight to me And tell me something sweet? Will you wish me happy dreams And promise when we’ll meet? It’s hard to be away from you And hard to know you’re there, Tucked so cozy in your bed, While I’m just sitting here
32. Bewitched
Please don’t say goodnight to me And leave me here alone. Please don’t close your eyes and sleep When I am left at home. I cannot sleep, I cannot think You’ve bewitched me through and through, So please don’t say goodnight to me, But I’ll say goodnight to you.
33. Words of You
Happy, funny, friendly, fun. Lovely, gracious, shining sun. Curious, clever, loving, kind, Gorgeous face and sharper mind. You are all these things to me, You are my lover and my light. So, now before you fall asleep, I wish you a tender, warm goodnight.
34. Door Slam
Walk out of your house and slam the door. Get into your car, and please make it roar. Drive as fast as you can – you can’t stop to pee. You must come here now and fall asleep with me.
35. Breaking All Rules
This night is not ending, You must be mistaken. There’s no way you would leave me Alone and forsaken. The sky may be dark and The sun has gone down. But you and I cannot part Just because it’s not sound. Expectations and rules don’t Apply in our case. And it’s not that you have You father to face. So let’s not say goodnight, Let’s not waste the hours Come and dance with me In the bright moonlight showers.
