The way you
hold me
there
on your chest.

The way you
kiss me
and caress
my aching soul
And the stars
somehow
shine
brighter.

The way
I was
just a flame
and something
about you
stirred me
until I became
a wildfire.

The way I watch
your heart leap out
of your eyes
when I touch you
just right
And we stay up
all night
to throb
with the moon.

The way you
changed
everything.

And I don’t know
how long I have
with you
but tonight
I will hold you
so tight
and count
your heartbeats
until I sleep.

And I will dream
this somehow
lasts
longer
than my
last breath…
