The longing I feel for you
At 4:54 am Breaks me
I didn't want to love like this
The facade of not needing
Anyone cracks under the
Gentle weight of your warm
Breath as I lay wrapped
In your tight arm
Our feet touch
Our legs intertwine and I
Realize this is what happiness
Is
No bells or whistles
It didn't cost anything
Just you and I in a dark and quiet
Room and I am home
You have crept into the deepest parts of me
Your words...
Your touch on my skin...
The way you look serious all the time
Has infiltrated my existence
You quite silently tiptoed past
The yellow tape across my
Shattered and weary heart
That read "crime scene do not pass"
You dared to cross even when
The warning signs were clearly labeled
My mind races in the telling
Me I don't deserve this love
I pray I do not wake to find that this
Precious love was
Just
A
Dream.
