Not Like This

Not Like This night unites silence sighing here because it won’t always be like this your arms enshroud me for a few minutes delayed framing you is an advantage in positive film next to me until time doesn’t end the way sentiments paint tense hugging myself too tears squeeze through escaping on one leg hopping and skipping one by one the night remains my company even a dearest confidant intense emotions with you… while this is a presence while bodies lay quiet holding your arms in place moving could diminish this hour ruin the whole thing precious contents volunteering recall desperately rolling over spreading my hands over your face turning to lines sleeping handsome as the sun has its way this is all I get because day break is betrayal and you go… but not like this
