Because I Love You So Much

I love you as I imagine your head on my chest while you sleep As I listen to the moist sound of your kisses in my ear When I listen to the soft rumblings in your tummy as I fall asleep I feel tenderly towards you when you hide beneath your duvet Your secrets intrigue me as invitations of intimacy Little by little I reveal myself to you as you also do to me Love does this, the unfolding of trust and comfort Like the unfolding petals in the morning mist I long to share my comfort with you To breathe near your tender lips And close my eyes when I kiss you So that we may feel our softness together
