Tides rise in my chest with every breath
While I savor the look of you
Your lips breathing lightly
Rustling the leaves in my chest
So close to mine
But such a large gap to close
Whole decisions away
So hesitant
But incredibly strong
Holding the distance for an eternity
And closing in an instant
A moment I never thought would happen
But that I dreamed a thousand times
You felt like the wind
But yet you knocked it out of me
Gentle lips on mine
Moments surpassed time
Fingers wrap clumsily around your neck
You held me like porcelain
Touched me like an ancient book
But held me like I was saving your life
Softly raking my shirt
As if you were finding my seams
To make me come undone
You held my face
As if to make sure I wouldn't fall apart
Little did you know
I already had
Soft caress of my back
From the same arms
I swore held up the world
Our foreheads meet
As if to exchange thoughts
Even though I couldn't think
But your lovely eyes waited
When I opened mine
The voice that caught my attention
With every word it'd say
Was yet a whisper
That stoppemy heart
The birds fade in as we part
While the world comes back into play
You are all I see
