She wakes me up deep in the night.
I understand you, she smiles
snuggling into me, her nose,
pressed cotton soft on my cheek
I have no strength, I cry
not one, for you
I love your weakness
love you for your weakness
her breath wafts into mine
and the boy stuck in his age
floats in the web
of the girl forever
forgiving.

She wakes me up deep in the night.
I understand you, she smiles
snuggling into me, her nose,
pressed cotton soft on my cheek
I have no strength, I cry
not one, for you
I love your weakness
love you for your weakness
her breath wafts into mine
and the boy stuck in his age
floats in the web
of the girl forever
forgiving.
