the enticing cold

i'm in love with the cold
because i know that means you're nearer
as my legs start feeling numb
i'm aware my heart will be fuller

i'm in love with the patterned sky
mixing peach with aqua
streaks drawn from your own paintbrush
just to inform me you're almost here

i'm in love with the constant hum
for it means the systems are failing
with their death, you thrive
come back to me, back to living

i'm in love with the lazy songs
the ones that have no specific melody
but yet make sense to me
a choir of strangers surrounding me

i'm in love with the palette
as you keep messing with the colours
you can do what you want
you know that everyone will love it anyway

i'm in love with the light
for i know you're working hard
when the light starts to dim
i get excited once again

i'm in love with the darkness
as i know it is our time
only the overjoyed stay up at night
we're alone, just you and me

i'm in love with the wind
seeping slowly through my open window
i listen out for any noise
because i know you're coming home

i'm in love with your lips
though they change every once in a while
you just can't help your expressions
though i'm most in love with your smile

and i'm in love with your eyes
as you glisten and gleam
you're a part of everybody's dreams
but i hope you know you're the most important to me
