With Bodies Entwined

I want to walk the rivers edge
With your hand holding mine
I want to stare up at the stars that shine
As we fall asleep, bodies entwined
To feel your touch against my skin
It brings a warmth I could never let in
All that I could never show you before
Is all that I now feel
It scorches my throat and burns my eyes
In realizing all I’d done to myself
Was lie
The warmth, the chills that you send down my spine
The truth I could never come to find
There’s a light at the end
But my eyes were never open to see

I see it now
With you, with us
Here and forever
In this moment, together
For the only place I wish to be
Is here with you
