charmed respite

lets eliminate
the air between us
and cling to our skins
in the quiet hours.

let me press my face
into your neck
and match breathing patterns,
let me have this content time.

i've been waiting for so long
to write that kind of song,
and i want this to
last long enough to forget
that it's only just a moment.

lets close our eyes
and savour it.
i think we've earned
this charmed respite.
