Flawless
My eyes slowly droop
Getting closer and closer
To darkness
But I still try to
Slap myself awake
And the process
Continues like that
For about five minutes
That seem like hours
To the half conscious me
Every time I inhale,
Your scent overwhelms me
A bit like cookies baking
A tad, of freshly cut grass
But mainly the smell of the sun
The sweet sweet smell
That mesmerizes me
Your warmth radiating
Keeping me safe
I feel you all over me
Even though you are
Just next to me
You aren't asleep yet
I can tell
You pretend to be
But your uneven breathing
Gives you away
You're eyelids are closed
And your long lashes
Flatter your perfect face
Each, crevice flawlessly formed
Your lips sturdy in position
But look longing for that kiss
That I have been holding onto
Your milk chocolate hair
Brushed slightly over your forehead
Your jaw relaxed
As you exhale, I feel
Warm moist air shower
My head, laid just below
As I rest it on your sturdy chest
I can feel every breath
And hear every beat
Of your perfect heart
I hold onto one hand
Desperately trying to stay awake
Savoring every one of these
Perfect moments
When you and I breathe together
And are one, warm and tight
"I love you," I whisper under my breath
I finally let my eyes shut, and begin to drift
Only just hearing the slightest sound
Of your smooth voice, loving me back...
