Dear Love I Forgive You

Captivated by the feeling
Of your soft lips as they center
Perfectly with mine
And we stand quietly
With our noses squished together
Our blood pulsing heavily
With fingertips longing for a moment
That lasted longer than what is always granted
I held this moment, Dear

In the morning I feel you against me
The sunlight is held back by nothing but a window
A pane we wish we could hide from
But I couldn't be happier
And you are quietly sleeping
Your eyelashes curl upwards
As your eyes trace the colors of
The back of your lids
And I couldn't be happier
Nor more afraid
To lose someone so soft and peaceful
Keep dreaming, Love

You awake to gather your mind
A few moments go by
I know you remember
That hot and cold balance
That fixed us into a
Slow rhythm of bodied time
I traced your heart in the sunlight
Which lead me to the lines on your palms
My gaze then reached
The depths of your eyes
Only for a moment
All of this in silence
As my mind tried to make sense of it
A feeling that I...I

I didn't know how to say it
So on a peaceful night we drove quietly
When we got home I kissed you
I held those lips far longer than I should have
Longer than it is was good for
I almost fell asleep like that
You know
And while you always seemed to test
The strengths of my mind
I never imagined that these moments
Would be something
I would have to forget
That you would be someone
I would have to... Forgive

I made you a promise
Above, beyond, to the top
My heart wept but I didn't speak
As you brought me back to the light
Laying in the depths of my soul
Our soul
It's me 
You said
The truth that rattled my inside
But only in the moments you were gone
The moments that would haunt me
When I would dream about You.
