Sway
I have music in my heart
And a song in my chest
That reverberates through my rib cage
As you play my bones
Like the keys on a xylophone
Every time I kiss you
It's like the first time all over again
And I see the stars in your eyes
The swirling constellations
That you'd swear I'd have to be drunk to notice
But I do
I do notice you
And all your perfection
Your flawless beauty
Makes my lungs swell
Each time I breath you in
Drink you up
I never want to hurry
I never want to catch up
I want to stand here and sway in the breezes
Because if I hurry the wind will also pick up
And I am so scared that it will blow you away
Like it did to the balloons
That you got on my birthday
And though they may float away
The memory is always there
Just like you
Your always here
Even when we are inches, feet, yards, miles apart
You are always here
Laying in my heart
