When I Hold You
We were lying in bed. I had one arm under your neck, and the other was draped over your waist. Your head was snug into my shoulder. I want to hold you like that forever. You are more than a body intertwined with my flesh.
When I hold you
I hold the oceans that are caged in your eyes
The waves that catch the shore by your pupil
I hold the proof of your fighting and bravery- your battle scars
I cradle the parts of you he invaded
And the barriers you put up to protect your emotional well being
When I hold you
I hold the flowers that grow in your soul
I hold the mountains that you move
I caress your waterfall that flows when you need to release
And the sun that beams when you grin with happiness
When I hold you
I hold the galaxies and the planets that float through your head-the reasons you are still awake
I hold the shooting stars in your mind-your dreams
And the world that you are
I never plan to let go, because I love you.
