I find your room the way it has always smelled The smell of crushed petals, young love, lust The sound of your breath is love letter soft No softer silence has been broken than that in between Your each and every breath If I could see into your dreams Full of lakes glowing in sunset and the smell of pine drifting You are in your forest Walking for the sake of wonder Learning the sound of the world Dreams I stand here over your sleeping form My heart beats so quickly The weight of it all Resting in my chest White soft sheets and the smell of lavender I know you sat awake reading Les Fleurs du mal I know you sat awake reading As you told yourself That I would be there soon But sleep took you in that sudden moment I know you told yourself You would close your eyes just for a moment And I would be there soon
Yet you sleep so soundly in the dark As you wait for me in shaded dreams
Here I kiss your sleeping lips Begging for a moment of your warmth Wishing just for a moment of your warmth
