Hold me close

One of these days
Hold me like I’m yours
Softly but firmly
Lace your fingers with mine and let’s breathe together
Look me in the eye and show me
Show me your dreams
Play with my hair while I listen to your heart and them
Let me trace the scars – on your back and through your memories
I’ll be gentle, I promise
Smile – so I know you understand

One of these days
Let’s talk about the school trip where you fell
And we can decide what color the sky was that day
While you tug on my shirt slightly because we want to kiss
Let’s watch the sun go down one day – leaning on each other
To beautiful endings, we’ll drink to
Only to begin again right after
And let’s go to the sea
Dip our feet in water – make fun of our toes
Tell each other about our first times ever.

Hold me close one of these days
Not too close
I feel trapped in closed spaces
Hold me just close enough
I might want to stand up and walk away
But hold me, don’t let go just yet
Whisper in my ear and ask me to stay.
