WHEN YOU LEAVE THIS PLACE (WHAT WILL YOU TAKE?)

the moon and me

The room is dark and cold, rain falling outside the window

i inch my body closer to yours,

slowly

as not to wake you

you continue to snore as your body turns and envelops mine

warm skin presses on my chest and i breath you in

your hand lays on my head,

rubbing circles into my hair before you fall deeply back into your dreams

i look up at you and see you, ever so slightly,

in the soft light from the candle on the desk

your eyelids have never looked so inviting

mouth agape like youre sharing a secret

two chins from having your head pressed so deeply in the pillow

i smile at you, though you will never know it

these are my favorite moments

the memories just for me

the rain on the window and the rise and fall of your chest

lulls me to sleep
