To lay in a cold bed beside you
And not dare turn on the light.
To be silhouetted by unlit cigarettes
And caressed by half drunk tongues.
To be glimpsed through slices of moonlight
And touched by shadowed limbs.
To hear the song of my name half sung
Beneath a whispered half breath.
To know you belong to the day
And I will only ever see the dark.
To know you prefer the softness of caramel
But you will sneak chocolate, bittersweet.
To hear you call me beautiful
And know you mean
only for and
Only in
The dark.
Slowly We Unfurl Again
