In the candle's gentle glow,
I lay with my head on your chest.
Words go unspoken, and I hear nothing,
Except the beat of your heart in the silence.
And there's a notion that I get,
As you idly stroke my hair,
That time is crawling by,
If only for us two here,
Stopping completely as our eyes meet.
Your eyes shine brighter now,
And I see everything just for me.
I wonder if you always knew somehow,
That look could bring me to my knees.
But no, I can't be that transparent.
Though here in the fading twilight,
I wonder if you can see right through me.
Because now, I'm not hiding anything.
With a peace I haven't known in years,
I bare my soul for only you,
Content just to have you here.
The moon shines bright outside your window,
Making ours a world apart.
Your gentle smile puts me at ease,
As I fall asleep to the beat of your heart.
