I want to be close to you
closer than words allow,
close enough that my breathing
forgets it’s my own.
Hold me
like there’s nowhere else to go,
like distance never existed,
like my name fits
right beneath your chin.
I just want to stay
within your arms,
where the world quiets
and I’m finally small enough
to rest.

I want to be close to you
closer than words allow,
close enough that my breathing
forgets it’s my own.
Hold me
like there’s nowhere else to go,
like distance never existed,
like my name fits
right beneath your chin.
I just want to stay
within your arms,
where the world quiets
and I’m finally small enough
to rest.
