lovers, we are young and our hearts and our heads can take us halfway 'round the world but we can make a wanderlust home in the space between our heartbeats when we're curled around each other the bed too small for all the love we have knocking at our door is as simple as carding your fingers through another's hair we know you're never more beautiful than with sleep and sunlight in your eyes and lopsided curls falling at your cheekbones
and on the days that caffeine replaces blood in your veins and tiredness pulls at your eyelids and your head dragging them down, love, we'll tuck you in and keep the coffee coming
and winter sunlight may be watery but it's never brighter than squinting against the snow and finding that your smile is still the most blinding thing we see
and spring will return us to our roots reaching against the tide of the world to keep our love alive
oh loves, I'll love you even more every turn around the sun we make every spin that sets the sun to rising always falling through the endless space and still I know the most important
space
is the space where your breath mixes with mine the spaces between your teeth, the spaces we made for us, the spaces we'd die to keep
the space we made in a blanket fort before anything else
