I want to hold you closer.
You smell of sandal wood
and earth after a summer shower.
Because I breathe you, I don’t need the air
and I know how it feels to swim through stars.
In the muted night we sing our song.
You bring for me midnight choir
I always bring the rain.
It feels like rain
Fantastic, both the poem and the song pick. 😊
