Every Millimetre

If i could have your arms as a pillow, i would bring it everywhere, even on the bus. I would
wrap it around me if i was cold. I would put half of it on my shoulders if i was at the cinema.
I would put them behind me if i was looking at the sea, and make it squeeze around my 
stomach until i felt you in my bellybutton. 

I want to sit under a blossom tree with the sun coming through in little streams. 
Only with you.

I want to be a fish gliding through your veins, come out of your mouth and kiss every 
millimetre of your lips.

I want to watch every breathtaking sunrise come up from behid your face. See your eyes 
glisen, with morning moisture and yellow light.

I want to sit infront of the painting 'scream' for five hundred hours, so when i look at you
you would be even more beautiful.

I would make your hair a hat and in the morning i would run it through my fingers, i would
drag it up my stomach and around my chest and have it entwine with mine, resting near my 
nose and stay like that until your smell was gone.

I want you to always be happy. Your heart shimmers in your eyes. When it is not there, 
neither am i.
