Selfishly

I love you when
you're close to me
and you almost
belong to me.

I love you most
When you're asleep
and only I
Can hear you breathe.

You're the sun
and I'm the moon
I'm only me
When I'm with you.

I need you when
it's hard to breathe
You say it's safe
And I believe.

I need you most
When you're asleep
So I can love you
Selfishly.
