Comfortably Beautiful


The quiet hum of crickets in the night Singing to each other Talking to each other Is comfortably beautiful Like the whisper of your voice against the nape of my neck It's just you and me Singing to each other Talking to each other So comfortable and beautiful Without a care in the world And just like that you're up and out of the bed, walking out that door and walking out of my life And I just watch, with a sad kindness in my eyes wondering why you would get up and leave And that sadness in my eyes is the last thing you remember Those same sad eyes haunt you, Because you regret it Because you wanted to stay with her, with me, But you couldn't, you couldn't allow yourself the chance to make someone happy with you Because you question yourself "who will ever love me?" And you leave because you cannot stand the chance of her not being the one You cannot fathom the thought of life without her because you accepted her beauty and her flaws and everything while on that bed with her Singing to each other Talking to each other And it was all comfortably beautiful And that was all you needed in life All you needed in life was her So comfortable, so beautiful.
