I want
the better parts of silence
in quiet moments with you
to start this love for a second time
to prove the things I knew
But you, my dear, can't seem to see
lieing asleep only inches from me
I could watch you for hours on end
if only you would let your eyes open
to hold both of ours with
tomorrow's hope
and future's promise
both holding tight their breath
because your fingers hold their curving
holding to all that's left
Author notes
I write with her beside me, sleeping, and I wondering, is this as it is meant to be?
