Sweet Lullaby

The desire to lay next to you
With your arms wrapped around me
And holding me close
Overwhelms me right now
To feel the breath in your chest
Rise and fall against my bare back
Knowing that here I am safe and wanted
With eyes slowly closing
And all within me relaxed and soothed
By the mere comfort of your presence
In your arms is where I want to be.
I want to place my hand on your chest
Feel your heart beat beneath my palm
And run my fingers through your chest hair
I want to look into your eyes
As they close and you drift off to sleep
To know that everything is right
And that this is the only place in the world
Where I could ever want to be
And let my eyes close softly
And join you in our sweet sleepy lullaby.
