I Love You

Moonlight sneaks in through your window and slides between the blinds that make it dark

Light dark, light dark, light dark, light dark, all the way down your skin

How can you be sound asleep already when, just a beat ago we moved through sparkling paradise

Softly I call you, you answer me slowly, mumble something, rub your eyes

To sleep so soundly with that smile on your face

You must feel the way I do

I love you

Morning we wake up as morning rises in the street, cars and doors and voices, kids on their way to school

Their noises bounce up the building into this bedroom where we lay still, all, tangled up in each other

For some dumb reason, I have to go to work, but you've got other plans you say - we're staying home today
