you fell asleep in my arms...
and i watched you as you drifted off into a dreamland that
reality could not compare to.
your forehead against mine,
i looked down at your closed eyes and thought about
how amazing you are to me.
i love your flaws
your romeo heart
your mind.
everything about you.
i breathe in and take in the moment...
your body next to mine,
legs intertwined,
matched breathing.
"i love you..." i whisper.
because i do, and i need you to know
that i need you.

Place your hand upon my chest.
It reminds me how it feels when it's mended.
Then use it to cradle your head while you rest.
The worst of it, like the day, has ended.
