How Perfect You Feel

How safe I feel,
Lying next to you.
Quiet secrets shared,
Stories told,
Love made,
And life lived.
How safe I feel,
In your quiet company,
Surrounded by the smell of you,
The smell that intoxicates me.
When I am weak,
When I break,
When the world becomes too much,
It’s the silence that I crave,
And your warm embrace.
You’re not perfect,
But you’re mine,
And that’s enough for me.
As much as I crave you,
I can do without.
I don’t want all of you,
Not if it would dry you out.
Take what you will of me,
I will give it all.
I know that you won’t take it,
Because you’re afraid to fall.
I love you
And that’s enough for me,
Because maybe, just maybe,
One day you’ll love me.
