The longing I feel for you
at 3:45am breaks me.
I didn't want to love like this.
The facade of not needing
anyone cracks under the
gentle weight of your warm
breath as I lay wrapped
in your right arm.
Our feet touch,
Our legs intertwine and I realize
this is what happiness is.
No bells or whistles.
It didn't cost anything.
Just you and I in a dark, quiet
room and I'm home.
You have crept into the
deepest parts of me.
Your words !
Your touch on my skin !
The way you look so
serious much of the time
has infiltrated my existence.
You quite silently tiptoed past
the yellow tape across my shattered
and weary heart that read
" Crime scene donot cross"
You dared to enter when warning
signs were clearly labelled.
My mind races in the night
telling me I don't deserve this love.
I pray I don't wake to find this
precious
LOVE WAS JUST A DREAM !
