::: Knees :::
Jan. 3rd, 2009 12:17 amwe're the kind of love
where I can kiss your knee
and you smile because you know
that's just how I am
this will never be forever
that sort of thing cuts too deep
water reflects but so do mirrors
and that's all it needs to be
and you always sit behind me
so you can watch
make sure I do things right
you put your hand on my shoulder
it's like you make me want to think
your ring around my finger
and your shadow on my floor
now I'm warm enough to sleep
when it hurts you pour my drink
hold my wrist and kiss it
you've come to know my needs
thank you for the silence
you echo on my eyelids
it startles me sometimes
when I forget to be alone
because your breath is on my ear
where I can kiss your knee
and you smile because you know
that's just how I am
this will never be forever
that sort of thing cuts too deep
water reflects but so do mirrors
and that's all it needs to be
and you always sit behind me
so you can watch
make sure I do things right
you put your hand on my shoulder
it's like you make me want to think
your ring around my finger
and your shadow on my floor
now I'm warm enough to sleep
when it hurts you pour my drink
hold my wrist and kiss it
you've come to know my needs
thank you for the silence
you echo on my eyelids
it startles me sometimes
when I forget to be alone
because your breath is on my ear
