For you

Something I wrote for my wife

It's a habit of the brain to see you in such a light
To need you on the hour of every morning, noon and night
You'll be a star in the nighttime sea
Shining blinding bright for only me
Reaching to get closer than physically believed
Flying higher than any had dared to perceive
To pull this skin around me and shield me from the day
Until your fingers rise up and rip the sun away
And now we touch the ground and settle in for a while
To share secrets and dreams
And make each other smile
