Beautiful Thing

to know my love, the way your lips move my inability to watch you falter is my own steady my shaking hands beg you to sit on the green velvet couch - fall to your knees beneath the window and as the sun rises our living room becomes a makeshift chapel and i vowed to never leave but oh darling
to know the inevitability that you will forget me someday - soon. steady my shaking hands beg you to stay just a few more moments lay your head on my chest watch the sun set.
