Count The Stars

His voice so soft, his stare is controlling

My head's way up in space, he has my eyes rolling

They are so far back in the pit of my head

So I can picture him holding me closely instead

 

As I sit, his arms embrace my touch

When I fall for him, he'll be there as my crutch

I listen to his heartbeat, racing in the dark

We lay under the moon, just counting the stars

 

I twine my fingers into his nicely

We both get lost under the whoosh of the night sea

In one another's stare, hearts pulsing and burning

Getting closer each moment to what my lips are yearning

 

He reaches slightly forward, wipes the bang from my cheek

Through the pushed strand, he makes it so I cannot speak

We melt as one, as he kisses me, my head's in mars

He holds me tight, forever, as we lay and count the stars.
