Closer

I'm holding you closer now

I'm holding you tighter now

I'm gripping your shirt in my fist 

I'm intertwining my hand with yours

I'm smiling at you

I'm smiling at your mouth as it curls up on the sides

I'm laughing at the way you grab around my waist

I'm leaving a kiss on your forehead remembered by a mark of lip gloss

You lay your head on my chest

You lay your body against mine

You wrap your arms around my ribcage

You lay your lips on my collarbone

You breathe softly

You breathe slowly

You fall asleep pressed against me

You fall asleep with my hair tickling your cheek

I'm holding you closer now

I'm holding you tighter now

I'm promising to not let you go

I swear I will try my best not to leave
