You are so precious to me
Words can't even begin
To explain what I feel
When I look at you
When you're near me
When I smell your patchouli and cigarettes
Coming up the stairs
We've said "The Scary L Word" and survived it
We know we're siblings of the soul
We can stare at a blank wall together and have fun
But can we cross the bridge that
Separates our souls and our bodies?
Would it ruin everything we have,
The solace we've found in each other?
Can we risk it all to pursue a perfect dream
And still survive if we awaken?
As I put the sleeping pill to my lips
I find myself afraid to fall asleep.
