February 2018
A second skin becoming my own,
A whole new person,
Two hearts joining together,
Becoming one.
Nights,
Turning into day.
No sleep.
Just the two of us,
Together as one.
A second skin becoming my own,
The hills and valleys that make up your body,
Have become a familiarity,
I can not cease to trace,
I know them by heart.
Freckles, a gentle smile and slender limbs,
Inside jokes and shared secrets,
Shared sadness,
Providing comfort.
A second skin becoming my own,
One of those sleepless nights,
You ask what it is that made me fall
So hard,
So desperately,
And I answer,
I whisper,
In the dark,
'' I love you''
You fell silent,
Was this it?
Was this all for nothing?
What had all these nights been for?
A second skin becoming my own,
The hills and valleys that make up your body,
Have become a familiarity,
I can not cease to trace,
I know them by heart.
Freckles, a gentle smile and slender limbs,
Inside jokes and shared secrets,
Had this all been for nothing?
Until,
After shared silence and desperate breaths,
I hear you mutter,
I love you too.
And this was it,
This was what it had all been for.
A second skin becoming my own,
The hills and valleys that make up your body,
Have become a familiarity,
I can not cease to trace,
I know them by heart.
Freckles, a gentle smile and slender limbs,
Inside jokes and shared secrets,
And you had been worth it,
This has been worth it,
For I was yours,
Am still yours,
And you were mine,
And are still mine.
Days pass,
Rain falls,
Nights become days,
And mist clears,
but you will still be here.
For you are mine,
And I am yours.
A second skin becoming my own,
The hills and valleys that make up your body,
Have become a familiarity,
I can not cease to trace,
I know them by heart.
