Wrap your arms around my waist as we think of silly things yet keep it to ourselves because we’re too afraid of what the other might think

It’s 6 am and the candle I turned on last night still flickers. A flame so strong it alone can cause a forest fire yet somehow a single breath of air that escapes from your lips manages to make it tremble and shake, the flame grows weak yet still shines enough light to help me see through the night.

Just a lump of coal used to fuel your fire
Turing into ash once no longer desired

Drink me dry until I die
Eat me up like cherry pie
Devour me whole till there’s nothing left
Other than you and your still beating chest

Time is an illusion
A man made mental confusion

You cannot truly fear
something that is nothing other than unreal

You strum the chords while I sing the tune. May our breaths become the harmony and the wind an interlude.

Once the sun says goodnight
and the moon starts to shine
I start to think of the finer things in life.
Like the fact that we both sleep under the same sky. You and I we should dream of the happiest things. Might we try something light just for tonight?

Like a walk on the beach with our toes in the sand. Or a cruise through the streets both hand in hand. We can go to a diner and dress really nice. Or dance without caring if we get the steps right. Stargazing and thinking “are we all that there is? ” Or go thrifting to see who can find the nicer fit. Maybe skating or bowling whatever you’d like.

But if that’s all too much and you’d prefer to stay simple. We can just stay inside, and call it a date night.

At home close together a movie on screen.
Cuddling with you our breaths start to sync.
My head on your shoulder your head on mine.
I look up at your eyes what a pretty sight.
We kiss under sheets while Lovesong is playing.
The credits start rolling the movie has ended.
How crazy it’d be if this wasn’t a dream.
Baby this could be us if you’d just stop playing.

Now the moons said good bye and surely the sun will soon rise. Sadly it’s time to wake up, from what I wish was true life. But for now I can dream, of the finer things. And just hope that one day I’ll wake up by your side.
