Let's Drift Away

Don't be afraid of me
I'm not going to kill you again
I swear it

Let me love you
give me a chance to show you
I'm the one

I want to iron your pjs before you get home from work
After your night shift,
go bathe in my shower
use my bath oils and shampoos
what's mine is yours
and when you're done, take a look at the dinner table and see all I've set for you:
a warm plate of your favorite
a sweet drink to wash it down and
dessert that I will feed you myself

Then let's go to bed
hold me as we drift to some other land,
your snoring: bearish, to the point, and safe
Mine: like the national anthem to a faraway world where lovers finally rest
a sweet mix
because we belong

Let's do it again,
Like we did that summer

I miss you
