Forever

May 06, 2012 00:13

I could spend forever
Tracing the lines in your palm
Counting your eyelashes
Kissing your ears and your nose and your lips

Because forever would never be enough time
For me to leave a print in your skin
That would tell you just how much I love you

I could lay with my head on your chest
And listen to your heartbeat
Singing me a lullaby
(The sweetest, most sincere song I've ever heard)
Until the end of time

Because forever would never be enough time
To memorize every word of your heart's lullaby
So my own heart could sing it to me when you're not here
(I'll always need you with me)

I could live on your kisses
And crawl into your arms
To stay in the warmth of your hugs
Wrapped around me forever

Because forever would never be enough time
To hold you and be held by you
And love you with everything I am

I could sleep entangled in your limbs
Our fingers intertwined and palms pressed together
With your forehead against mine
For all of eternity

Because forever would never be enough time
And if I don't have forever
All I want is you.
