I feel so privileged to be the one

Who gets to listen to you breathe

I love your worldview, your outlook on life

That makes itself known behind every sigh

Those sighs that keep time with the beating of my heart.

The sweetness and care behind every breath

Every breath a song completely your own

I want to protect you from everything:

The depth of what I feel for you

Perpetually caught in the morning after

If only I could express us in words

I would be making millions

Though epiphanies soft as shuttered eyes

Fizzle away with the light of day

Perhaps everyone is more themselves in the dark.
