We're in the bathtub
Soaking our tired bones
We're so close to one another
Melting away the anxiety
And trying to face the fear that holds us back
God, I like you
Why can't I tell you?
The candles are burning and our skin is touching
The music is playing as you come closer
You kiss my cheek and I run the hot water
We lie next to each other, our bodies pure and bare
We fall asleep leaving the negative thoughts outside the door.
