I want to steal your mornings
While the sleep's still in your eyes
Us each only half awake, tangled together, unsure still yet if we are real or if this love could be just a sweet dream.
I want to steal your afternoons
Sharing lunch near the window
Moments of nothing that mean everything, the ordinary so extraordinary, and never a smile taken for granted.
I want to steal your late nights
The darkness like a blanket wrapped around our warm embrace
The moon & stars gleaming with envy, jealous, so jealous they could never shine so brightly as the glimmer of your gaze.
I want you at your most mundane,
And I will stand in awe of you at your monumental.
I want you at your purest bliss
And I will shelter you through the hurts you are unsure you will survive.
I want you in the innocence of morning
Where we feel lucky to be alive again and look ever forward to the future.
I want you in the slowness of afternoon,
Where we are steady and secure under the soft hum of the radio as it pulls our day along.
I want you even in the most fearful night,
Where we make peace with the hours before and protect each other from the shadows.
The shadows can never take me because you glow in the dark.
The shadows will never touch you because your light flows in me.
Take me to places where there's you,
There is nowhere more important to be.
Take me to where the clocks don't move,
Where time remains frozen just for us.
We always have two or three goodbye kisses, not just one.
That in all the mornings, afternoons and late nights
It can't just pull us apart so easily.
We always have two or three hello kisses too, never just one,
Because it shows the world
That every morning, afternoon, and late night
We are thankful it brought us together again,
Closer than the jealous moon & stars
The ordinary all now so extraordinary,
Tangled together like the sweetest dream.
