Let me hold your hand
         and kiss the tips of your fingers.

Let me tell you how beautiful
         your shadow is next to mine.

Let me caress you cheek,
         and tell me every thought that lingers.

Let me be your safe space
         you settle into at night.

Let me feel your brow
         pressed against my lips.

Let me sing to you
         from my soft-spoken heart.

Let me feel your touch
         always on my skin

So my love for you lingers
         even when we're apart.



                                                                                              Let Me.
come be my midnight muse
let me love you to the bone
