breath

I can feel the shiver in your spine
lying next to me,
the gentle breath that keeps us alive,
the hand curled up in mine that keeps me steady,
the arms entangled up in each other,
and our love entangled in our souls.

I can feel the twitch in your breath,
the slow up and down of your back
as we lie as one here in this sea of pink,
a little bit of black and a little bit of in between.

I can hear your thoughts as I read them in your eyes,
and I could not ask for more,
than being where we are and waking up the next day
with the sunlight shinging through the windows ahead of me,
and reaching over to feel your breath once again.
