Come

While you waited
in your dreams—
I stood outside
ready to embrace you

Wake from this dream—
to dive into my love

You've already
felt the longing

Come—
sit with me,
let’s lose ourselves
in our silent gazes

We are the warmth
we noticed
in our quiet lives

Come—
settle with me,
let’s hear our breathing
as we stay close together

Let’s lean into
each other—
let the time stop
as we feel the moment

We hear our voices
as we listen to
our own heartbeats

Be yourself—
rest on my shoulders
shed your tears,
laugh out loud,
or smile gleefully

You are in me,
and I in you—
a gentle presence

For once—
we take off our masks,
reveal ourselves

Dawn opens her door—
let's hold hands
and slip away
into our cozy space
