Instead Of

As I lay beside you
Staring at half of your face
The other half inserted in the pillow
I tiny touch you
And as you go an inch away
I already miss you

I told you don't sleep away from me tonight
But I want to push you away
Im caught in between stealing a moment of tenderness 

And the emotion that it brings
What are you doing to me ?

I love the smell that comes from your kiss
Love how you tremble with my touch
How you clench and you wrench
And then you slowly fall asleep
I love how you sleep

How you sheepishly hold my hands
How you secretly touch my feet
Love how you grab me from the back
And how you walk with me on the street

I guess the list is endless
And it's all just an excuse
To wrap all of it into
Things that I love about you
Instead of just saying I love you !

Thats All I'll Ever Need

Of sweaty palms and smoky eyes
Of jungle chores and beach rides
Kitchen tables, and beds and pain
Of burnt knives and going insane

Only sounds of whooshing breath
Or voices from the Arabic sea
Of fitting perfectly , Still
And laying wide awake

Of learning to sleep with the music on
And letting it play to the break of dawn
Of knowing when I need a kiss
And giving me one more when I ask for it

Of gently rubbing fingers
And playing with your hair
Of beds too big, and times too short
Of always defining distance

Of walks in stormy weather
And flips and cows and tree
Of scarves and photographs
Of home-made food and italian coffee

A night full of laughter
A rain full of chatter
A nap on my chest
And no need to fill a silence
That's all I'll ever need
