in the garden
i never felt i deserved anything good
so why am i so hopeful for you?
that face, my god, i love that face.
an angel sent from grace
and i don't know how i got here
but i want to stay with you.
everything about you
makes me melt into the sofa.
i'm trying to get closer
because i see a halo floating
up above your head
and if you squint hard enough
maybe you'll see mine, too.
i get so quiet when i'm around you
i get so focused on body language
trying to find a clue
as to if you want me, too.
it's hard not to believe in heaven
after being held by you.
i have roses budding over my skin
on all the places you have been.
i want to wake up with the sunrise
in the garden next to you
where we are so very alone
with the earth and morning dew.
