Closer

In the dark, your shadow moves
soft against the midnight blue.
Every breath becomes a wave,
pulling me where I would stay.

No direction.
No return.
Only silence
starting to burn.

Closer…
don't say anything.
Let the night
breathe us in.

Your voice falls under my skin,
low and slow, where dreams begin.
Time goes quiet in your eyes,
all the distance disappears.

Stay here.
Stay near.
Let the whole world
fade from here.

Closer…
closer still.
No resistance.
Only will.

I don't need the morning light.
I don't need to name this night.
If I'm lost, then let me be
where your heartbeat carries me.

And if the music fades away,
if the room dissolves to grey,
I will still know where you are.

Right here.
Inside the dark.
Inside the pulse.
Inside my heart.

Closer…
one more breath.
Closer…
nothing left.

Just you.
Just me.
Just this.
