come down now,

i sing out to you and wait for your reply
like midnight birds under the winter moon.
our unchained melody filling up the air and rising to the stars
maybe if we're loud enough one of them will fall.

we lie down face to face on the soft grass
the moon turning the earth the most lovely shade of blue
a color i only see when i dream, from beneath closed eyes
but now i have never been more awake, eyes wide open
your skin glows pale grey, sparkling with the stars
a beauty that so many will never see,
and what i cant keep my eyes off of.

you hold me closer as the wind sweeps across the field
i feel a small chill in my spine, but im certain its not the cold.
i hold up our hands, fingers perfectly intertwined
the color of polished stone, like an old statue
timeless and unchanging, despite the passing of years
i bring them down and place them between our hearts
the rhythm matching exactly, making every other sound disappear
nothing but our hearts, and the sound of your slow breathing
a song, with the warmth of your lips against my head, lulling me to sleep.

i awake to the light of the sun through my eye lids.
the world looks all new, bright and colorful
our bodies are covered with cool morning dew
collecting in our hair and eyelashes
making every blink look like tears, but only ones of joy
you smile your brilliant smile, making your whole face light up like a child
your eyes glowing with the sweetest kind of innocence
my heart flutters, as you help me up and pull me in for a kiss.
bittersweet, laced with the goodbye that we both are dreading.
i intertwine of hands again as we walk back towards the real world
out of the most magnificent of dreams

i watch a bird fly across the cloudless sky,
singing to the east,
waiting for a reply.
