Tonight, you dozed off with me
Wrapped up in our cozy fantasy
I cannot stop staring, wanting, dreaming
I must look like I have stars in my eyes.
The weight of your world seems to push you down
A world I have barely set foot in
Yet already I want to rush to you and say
Please, come here
Let me help you bear your crown.
Not because you need my help
Not for any reason, save this one:
I take such delight in your company
that it hardly seems any effort at all.
Already your chisel has been hard at work
Already your name is etched in that place
Where there are named only those
Who have been allowed to destroy me.
Let’s lie together under an endless night sky
Let’s laugh and kiss and lose ourselves
Let’s shine with such reckless abandon
That the stars think us one of them.
