The rain is falling
thunder rolling
lightning crashing
but it's all outside.
punding on the roof
above me and you.
tapping on the window
inviting us to get drenched
in its misery
but we turn the offer down.
the rain is cold
the wind thunder and lightning too loud.
its warm here
quiet
except for our breathing
and my thoughts of you.
your breath on my face
your eyes closed.
my ear over your heart
and your arm around me.
perfect comfort.
this is what it feels like
with the one you love.
i lift up my head
and kiss you goodnight
then fall asleep in my favorite place.
i wouldn't want it any other way.
