But none of that even matters because you are here
I am in your arms
You grip me tighter as if you are afraid of losing me
And I glide my fingertips against your cool dark skin
I kiss your forehead
And proceed to kiss your ears because that’s our thing
You are mine
The hum of your heart
And the sounds of your groans
Let me know that you’re alive
Because you sleep like an ox… A dead ox
I shower your body in kisses to wake you up
From the top of your head
To the soles of your feet
And then I pray for you
First, I thank God for bringing us together
Then, I ask God to protect you
I ask him to lead you down his path of righteousness
That he lead us by faith and not by sight as we traverse through man’s world
In other words, I even tell God that I love you
And I’ve never been that type of person!
I’m not into this lovey dovey shit!
But somehow, you changed that
Somehow, you changed me
Somehow, you Buried yourself a little hole in my heart
And from it grew a rose
Somehow I now know the folds of your body better than I know my
Own
You are mine
