i want to lie in bed
with you
12 AM
legs tangled in the blankets
we don't need to speak
i want to sleep peacefully
curled into your side
1 AM
the wind whistles
we sleep on
i want to feel your breath
on my skin
2 AM
you whisper in my ear
every wish and every promise
i want you to wake me up
'let's go see the stars'
3 AM
under the blinking lights
you ask me to dance
i want you to tell me
all of your dreams
4 AM
you brush my hair back
'you're my dream'
i want you to come to me
when you can't sleep
5 AM
i won't promise you'll be okay
but i'll hold your hand
i want you to get up
to go for a run
6 AM
'come with me'
'no' i get up anyway
i want to shower
you climb in with me
7 AM
you wash me
i wash you
i want to eat breakfast with you
you cook and i watch
8 AM
you try to flip a pancake
it falls on the ground
i want to rush out the door
we got distracted
9 AM
i'm late for work
so are you
i want you to call me
when i'm at work
10 AM
'do you want to get lunch?'
we always do
i want to receive a message
'there's a delivery from you'
11 AM
you sent me roses
my favourite
i want to meet up
at the diner we always go to
12 PM
you're already there
sprawled out in our booth
i want you to convince me
to skip work with you
1 PM
'i have lots of work to do'
i call my manager
i want to eat ice cream on the pier
and watch the boats go by
2 PM
i smash your cone into your face
you tell me you love me
i want to go to the fair
you win me a teddy bear
3 PM
we ride the ferris wheel
you kiss me at the top
i want to ride bumper cars
'first hit buys dinner'
4 PM
i get you first
your car hits the wall
i want to walk in the ocean
our feet in the sand
5 PM
the sun is setting behind us
you push me in
i want to go to dinner with you
at a fancy restaurant
6 PM
you order my dinner
and laugh when i can't pronounce the dishes
i want to sit with you
no rush to leave
7 PM
you get down on one knee
i say yes
i want to rush home
your hands roaming my skin
8 PM
your hot breath on my neck
i can barely get the key in the door
i want you to make love to me
tender and warm, hot and sweaty
9 PM
your hands on my thighs
my fingers in your hair
i want to sit in front of the fireplace
your arms around me
10 PM
bowie belts from the record player
you sing softly to me
i want you to kiss me
like i'm always on your mind
11 PM
like i'm you're first and last breath
like you and me? we're forever
