i wash your fingerprints off my body and brush the secrets off my teeth

for every thought in my mind of you is paired with the sound of your
breath and i’m not sure how to deal with a love that lights me up like wildfire

the ringing in my ears is the only sound in a world basking in silence and i wish it was your voice, because lying here alone has never felt more lonely

and all i need is that electricity from your heart manifesting in mine enabling the current from yours to flow through and our two hearts to beat with the same rhythm and the gentle thud of your pulse against your neck reminds me that you’re alive and i thank you for being the reason my pulse is thudding against my neck right now

and you may not know this but your eyes are my favourite colour and if only i could wake up to their greeting every morning

but for now i’ll sleep and hope for your presence in my dreams, because no matter how far apart we are, you’re always here with me
