I felt warm in your arms.
Your breath brushed mine
Like a lullaby
I stared up at a strange ceiling
But I'd never felt more
At home
The nightmares howled at the windows
But they couldn't get in.
I was safe
Steady eyes kept me grounded
Your lips were
Pillow-soft against my smile
Sweet, tracing sun-speckled skin
I wish I had held you closer.
I wish I could have told you
That for the first time in a long time
I slept whole
I slept well
And dreamed
Of you

I felt warm in your arms.
Your breath brushed mine
Like a lullaby
I stared up at a strange ceiling
But I'd never felt more
At home
The nightmares howled at the windows
But they couldn't get in.
I was safe
Steady eyes kept me grounded
Your lips were
Pillow-soft against my smile
Sweet, tracing sun-speckled skin
I wish I had held you closer.
I wish I could have told you
That for the first time in a long time
I slept whole
I slept well
And dreamed
Of you
