6/28

In a moment like this,

in the silence of understanding,

I love what we have.

Silent laughter and giant grins,

how’d we get to this from friends?

You don’t know what you mean to me

and I know we don’t have much time,

but I know you’re here for me.

Summer sun and a lingering touch,

hold me closely and pretend it’s just friendly.

It will be alright if no one knows

so just let it go

and stay with me tonight.

You asked me to be yours,

asked for a mark of my love,

and I lay in your arms

because it feels so right.

Your hand on my hip,

sleepy breaths in my hair.

I sleep through the night

this hasn’t happened before.

I wake to peppered kisses

and think this is holy.

You’re leaving way too soon.

I don’t want to be without you,

so stay a little longer in my embrace

and melt the fears away.
