Girl I love your name
I love the shape it takes
On my lips and on the page
Girl it seems enough to say it
How else could I explain it
All these changes

There’s something about the way you look at me
That puts my restless thoughts at ease
Something of your softness in my sleep

There’s something in the time between your thoughts
A stretch of light a night to walk
Something in the words you choose to keep
That sends me

Spinning slowly
Weaving a home
From this skin
I’ve known
But hasn’t felt like my own

There’s something in the bend and in the creases
A tender map
A morning secret
Something in the way our bodies meet
That sends me

Spinning slowly
Weaving a home
From this skin
I’ve known
But hasn’t felt like my own
Spinning slowly
Shedding these clothes
Oh won’t you show me
How to let go
