Untitled
Lay down beside me and wrap yourself around me
Place your skin over mine so we can forget what we’ve been missing
It’s been so long waiting to be kissing
Away all the trouble from your mouth
This long lasting love drought
It’s agreed I’d bleed to be with you
It’s true I’d die young if we could spend my last days as one
I’d lie, I’d die, I’d learn how to touch the sky
To fall into your arms
I’m picturing it now, but reality won’t allow
Me to wake up with you
You’re in my heart, but we’re in the dark
Still waiting for the daylight to reach its final height
I’ve given up wishing but I’m still lifting
This leather tough life
Into the palms of my hands
Watching it slip between my fingers
Like water through a sieve
Or a moment lived in lost dreams
I need to love you not one day but today
I want you to get caught up in me like sand grains in my hair
Stick to me like honey
Or flow over my body like water from the shower
Wear away my layers like rain on rock
Uncover my skin like tissue paper
The more I think about it
The closer I get to you
And the closer I get to you
The more I want you right here right now
Breathe me not with sadness but with loving longing
Forgiven pasts and a future vast
Together at last
