I want nothing more
Than to feel your fingers entwine with mine
In the morning
In the evening
When you assure me that I'm strong
And when you tell me how much you love me
And when you hold me down into the sheets
Kissing away any troubles that once plagued my mind
Kissing your love into my veins
Kissing your heart in soul into every breath I intake
From my stomach
To my lips
To my fingertips as we entwine together in an embrace of peace
And bliss

Now you're in my dreams
Smiling at me
Holding me
Pushing the hair from my face as it sticks to my skin
An adhesive of tears gluing it to me
So determined to make me smile
With your gentle touch
And soft words spoken in hushed whispers so only I get to hear them
You ran the bath
Remembered my favorite tea
And sang to me until I felt at peace with my head nestled into your lap

You are the greatest thing I've ever dared to love
The greatest song I've ever sang
The greatest story I've ever told
I want to delve into your soul and learn about the little things that make you smile to yourself at the latest hours of the night
I want to lose my hands in your hair
My words between your lips
My pain between the seconds of the day that I get to spend with you
I want to roll over in the morning
As the warm rays of the sun filter through the blinds
Catching like dew in the halo of messy hair about your head
And gently wake you
As you have awakened me
