Against the world outside

*I am holding you tightly to my chest,

my beating heart.*

 

My ears pressed against the fabric of your clothes.

(No, you don't wear any clothes when sleeping)

 

*Sorry, I will, for you,

when you arrive.*

 

So, my ears then,

pressed against the warmth of your skin.

Your heart beating my name.

You humming softly,

looking out the window,

watching the poundings of the rain.
