Us

Breathe me in during your quietest moments

let me sit like a fly on the inner wall your heart

seeing each intricate thought and uncensored action.

Tell me what you think about at 2 a.m.

when the world is fast asleep

but your brain won't let you rest.

Let me see you wander aimlessly

from room to room on Sunday morning

when you're not quite awake.

Let me see you in your car

when your surroundings have been forgotten

because your thoughts are so loud.

Tell me of your joys and of your fears

confident I won't exploit them

show me the you that you want to be.

Tell me of your passions

and the things you have yet to do

and tell me where I fit in too.

Let us count the stars

and make shapes out of the clouds.

Let us have memories like movie scenes

and butterflies from our perfect nights.

I'll write our story

from moment to moment

and page to page.

As we go from chapter to chapter

I'll sleep and wake with thoughts of you,

until the day I wake with you as my view.
