Undressed, beneath the darkness,
In bed, beneath the covers,
In your arms- so tight around me
That I find myself comforted-
Like in a blanket
And I find myself at a home
So far from home.
Undressed, beneath that darkness,
In bed, beneath those covers,
In my arms, I hold you so tight
And find in you your boundaries falling,
Uncertainty shrinking, awake in a dream.
Undressed, beneath the darkness,
Naked- nothing before me but you,
In bed, beneath welcoming covers
I entwine my body in yours and find myself…
And the myself I find is smiling back at me,
And the boy beside me is smiling over at me,
And the moon beyond is smiling down on me,
And the last thing I remember as I close my eyes is you-
Your touch; so soft,
Your skin; so smooth,
Your smell; so warm
And me…
Happy.
