There's something about
how this night feels,
with the gentle evening breeze
passing along its own lullaby
onto the balcony
and
into the corners of our home.
There's something about
how this night feels,
with the city slowly falling asleep around us;
the lights in every window are as stars
in the encompassing night sky.
There's something about
how this night feels,
drinking hot chocolate just the way you like it
in mugs that we picked for each other.
There's something about
how this night feels,
with the scent of your hair,
and the sound of your steady breathing as you sleep
calming my weary heart.
