Here again, behind closed eyes Balanced on this fragile threshold One Enjoying the moment before it’s over As morning melts the locks Two Tenderly tracing unseen features Kneading you from dreams and memories Three Feeling the meter of your sleeping heartbeat Synchronizing as we breathe Four Folding you closer, moored in your warmth Pressing your blessed scent against my chest Five Picturing the glow outside Alighting on your resting eyes Six Savoring our seven precious seconds Helplessly defending the present tense Seven Today I woke up holding your pillow.

Seven Seconds
Here again, behind closed eyes Balanced on this fragile threshold One Enjoying the moment before it’s over As morning melts the locks Two Tenderly tracing unseen features Kneading you from dreams and memories Three Feeling the meter of your sleeping heartbeat Synchronizing as we breathe Four Folding you closer, moored in your warmth Pressing your blessed scent against my chest Five Picturing the glow outside Alighting on your resting eyes Six Savoring our seven precious seconds Helplessly defending the present tense Seven Today I woke up holding your pillow.
