Just Us

Let the world disappear tonight.
Close the door,
silence the clocks,
and leave tomorrow outside.

There is only you and me,
lost in a little universe
that belongs to nobody else.

Your hand finds mine,
your eyes speak without words,
and suddenly
the distance between our souls
doesn't exist.

We laugh at things
only we understand.
We whisper our secrets,
share our dreams,
and hold each other
like the world cannot reach us here.

I love who we become
when nobody is watching,
soft, honest,
unafraid to show our hearts.

Stay close to me.

Let the night pass slowly
while your heartbeat
rests against mine.

No promises to the world.
No explanations.

Just your warmth,
my love,
your soul beside mine,

just us.
