i want love with sleep in its eyes, that when it yawns, and stretches the bedsheets in a sleepy *****, whips the night out the window and breathes out a darling "good morning"
i want love that wears pyjamas, that smells of stale-ish coffee and toast; slightly-burned, like it always will be, but on which butter melts, without a protest, under the spell of our kitchen waltz
i want love next door to lust; a semi-detached carnal passion who, once or twice a week, comes for tea, shares a bottle of wine, and raises a toast to old times of late nights and later mornings
i want love with sleep in its eyes, with its forehead rested against mine with its legs entwined, arms aching, but enraptured in the same embrace i've grown to fit into so well
