In Perfect Time

10/14/2008

Inhale, exhale,
In perfect time.
Your heartbeat's close,
Right up next to mine.
Arms cradle softly,
But they won't let me go.
Chests rise and fall together,
Time moves so slow.
You softly say the things
That I live to hear.
I feel your breath warm,
Softly in my ear.
Whisper words quiet,
As we drift in and out.
Your voice is beautiful,
I couldn't do without.
I can feel your heart,
It beats into my back.
I can hear your breathing,
Keeping me on track.
We breathe so perfectly,
That I think without you,
My lungs, like the rest of me,
Would not know what to do.
Everything that scares me,
It all just melts away.
Melts in the warmth you give,
And it's here I'll stay.
Pressed so close against you,
It's everything to me.
It's everything I've needed,
Fitting together perfectly.
We're quiet in the loudest way,
More expressive than you know.
The nothing we are saying,
It's everything we could show.
I can feel you smiling
Into my shoulder blade.
If I could choose forever,
You'll find it's here I stayed.
Wrapped up in each other,
Bodies interwined,
Promise you'll stay with me,
In perfect time.
