Delicate

You touch me like I'm delicate
And I become so reverent
Kissing on your temple
You're golden and you're gentle

Reminiscing for the hell of it
We always think of how we met
He told me that you needed someone
It's been four years and we know why

You see the world so delicate
I'm feeling like I'm held in it
You walk your dog and take him home
You take a picture of the sky

Waking up against your skin
Let the sunlight filter in
If this is how the day begins,
I would hate to see it end

Your fingers always stay so cold
When I can I try to hold them
To the incandescent wrists
of someone who would kill for this

Someday when we're old and bored
You won't recognize me anymore
You'll come to bed so early and
I'll feel your fragile breath

You'll strain your ears and try to hear
My words before they disappear
"I loved you since I saw you
And I'm loving you to death"

Waking up against your skin
Let the sunlight filter in
If this is how the day begins,
I would hate to see it end

You're moving over, taking me
Waking from a dream
I know I'll see you there or in the museum gallery

Waking up against your skin
Everything is delicate
I would hate to see it end
