I found a spot on your chest where my head fit perfectly.
I laid there listening to your beating heart.
I'd never felt so safe before,
as I held you while you slept.
In that moment, as your heart rate slowed
along with my racing thoughts, time ceased
to exist in our room, in our bed, and I
realized that when I'm with you,
something changes inside of me-
A fierce calm engulfs me and I feel a love
for life that is so passionate and real, I
feel a love for you that I cannot deny.
And who am I to try and stop it?
I could swim in a sea of sweet, sweet dreams,
keeping afloat with my bloated heart, I could
drown in those waters, I could drown in you.
