Because I Love You Too Much Baby

It feels like floating below water

Eyes closed

The calm of the body of liquid moving around you

Creating a drum

Hum in your ears 

Peaceful

Where you would like to stay forever

 

I would like to stay forever

Breathing in with you

And breathing out together

Synchronized swimmers 

Dancing as one 

 

Dancing hearts beating with emotion

Drumming to elvis

Hands intertwining like vines

On houses people miss

 

It feels like home

Like what people write about

Your hand on the small of my back

Movements calculated but true 

 

Our eyes move their windows

Open and shut, peering into each other

Minds acting

In debt for the other

 

A debt I owe, but am all too happy to pay 

Feels like what songs are about

Like happily ever after, or once upon a time

The moment before our lips touch, but they hover

 

Floating in the water

That’s how it feels

To be loved 

By you
