Beyond all this, before I go.
I want to be alone with you.
If you could just stay like this.
Stay with me just a little while longer.
Your presence chases my loneliness away.
Don’t talk, let us just be together
alone with each other.
With you against my chest
I don’t feel so alone.
Your heart beats through me
reminding my heart, that it’s not alone.
Soon they beat in sync,
and that synchronicity fills me with love.
Your breaths tickle the hairs on my arms
while your eyes flutter from a dream.
Your presence in my life is strong.
I am a better woman with you in it.
When I am alone I am left with my thoughts.
Thoughts of doubt and self-loathing that
swirl around in my mind.
But you mend me when you lay by my side.
Beyond all this, nothing else needs to exist.
