We lie in the same bed
Side by side
Sharing the dark
And comfort
I offer you safety
Over my outstreched arm
Our feet touch slightly
In a secret embrace like
First time lovers.
I can hear you breathing
The covers rise and fall
Cascading with every
Breath you take.
And i wish it were me
You were taking in
Piece by piece
Slowly so I can savour
Becoming one with you.
At 4 am there is nothing
But you beside me
My finger runs down the outline
Of your body
As you dream
Frolicking in the waters
you so like
You walk gracefully
on the wet sand
Leaving your footprints
Like the kisses I plant on
Your lips every morning
Trailing into nothingness
When the waves catch them
Crashing
when we awake
and I wonder,
If you were with me
all along.
