As I lay
You down to sleep
I feel the thrum of
Your heart as it beats
I feel your soft skin
With my fingertips
I taste the salt on your
Cheeks with my lips
I can’t help but cast
My mind back far,
So far
When we first collided,
A dream for two
Twined my destiny
With you
We’ve cried a river
Before the decision was made.
And against the pillows
We laid
Bearing our souls
Our hearts put on parade
But that’s okay
You know I love you
You know I care
You know I need you,
With my lips in your hair
But I know your freedom,
Your problem with trust,
I just hope I can become
Your one and only.
Someday.
