So late and I haven't gone to bed
no it's so late and I cannot lay my head
because because at this time yesterday
we were pulling up to your front door
and because because
at this time the day before
we were
already
under the covers.
And because, because,
because let's not forget
the day before that we were sleeping in your friends' bed.
so tell me when we slip out of bed together
giggling about the night we left behind
tell me when you wake up in the night shaking
and slow only when I pull your body close to mine
tell me tell me
will it kill me kill me
to watch you push me away
day after day
until i roll out from those old covers
that used to cocoon us both
will you tell me that it was a one time thing
and that cocoon changes come with growth
or will you do what I believe
and climb right back in bed with me
and zip up time and lion arms
and leave me here warm in the dark.
