To wake at noon, the rare warmth of sunlight
breaks gently through the closed curtains, stroking our faces softly
beautiful bass tunes fill our heads from the room next door
I can already feel you pulling me up
Velvet and silk against the skin
I feel glamorous for once in my small life
I feel beautiful, still coated in the musk and smoke from the day before
We sit on the porch, I mistake shadows for my own hair and you blow smoke into the sky
Because of you and for you
We hold hands , take a walk along the train tracks
Is this taunting danger? I think we are safe but I will push it as far as it goes
Only to have you hold me around the waist, to tell me everything is okay
To have a candle lit dinner, on the floor of my bedroom
You tell long tales about our romantic future
I speak folklore into your ears
and then to rest, bed sheets, pillows and what comes with them.
So into the slumber I fall, into the world of dreams
where I dream this dream over and over, wishing I was there
Because, darling, whenever I wake
You are never here
