Awaking, thoughts flood your head about the night before
and the morning after that you've found yourself laying in
Wrapped under the sheets of your brand new discovery
Never in your wildest dreams could I have been that person that you met last night
To have known me all your life and to have never seen me in this light before now,
you have to wonder what else you’ve missed
“Where are my clothes, where was my head?”
Quickly following after your panic comes calm
Somehow you know that you are missed by my touch
Soon, like the memories of our actions, I’ll be coming back
Satisfied with the time you’ve had, you smile at your reflection in the sun graced mirror
As you lay back down you begin to wrap your head around the possibility of us repeating our mistakes until we get it right
You’ve never been one to flaunt yourself like a store display with something to sell
Your understated elegance was bare and present on display for my heart’s eye to see
First time fears fell away as we fell
Your head rested where mine so often lay
We traded spaces in ways that we had imagined but never dared to try before
Just when we thought that all our stories had been told a new one unfolded beneath us
We tried to get under each others skin
Pulling back our joys and pains with each piece of covering we lost and by morning
there was nothing left
As I enter the room your view changes with each motion I take to get closer to you
Following me with your eyes you can’t deny it
We couldn’t become what we were meant to be as we were, something had to change
In the quiet afterthought of everything we’ve said and done,
it’s our new found closeness that you’ve found balance in
