love, my love

hey, my love

morning light is shining in your eyes, my dear

let me shade you from it

duck down into me

and feel the warmth and comfort

of my dark embrace

against you

—

here, my love

this place here with you is why i live my life

cozy, warm, and loved,

you help me kill my strife

hold me until i can barely feel

a thing but you

and i will know

my joy is true

—

move, my love

let me feel the weight of all your endless love

kiss me breathless underneath the lights above

dig your hands into my hair

and make me sigh your name

like it’s a prayer

that’s always there

—

now, my love

make me smile and laugh the way you always do

entertwine our hands

they’ll never have a clue

about the weight of what we have

and what we are

you’re brighter even than a star

i smile and feel your glow

and know i’ll watch you rise so far
