My First

[ryandl]

I love your shine
the way you cover up your lips
just to let me sleep 
crack open your fingers to the sound of birds chirping
and totally reveal tomorrow's noon

I love your sway
the way you swing your legs
inviting me home, 
oh where I wanna be after work

I love your grip
the way you hold me down
when others let go
you hold on

I love your breathe
it smells like truth and wit
soft in a way that I could never quite understand

I love your eyes
they blink only when I'm watching
you watch my back and let me have yours
-only me
and I know what to do

Your tongue spits daggers
that mix with my lyrics
to form sweet blues
then comes rain to put out the flames
and we heal like gospel on a Sunday afternoon
weak but stronger at the same time

I love your voice
You sing just to hear me join in
then you smile cuz you know I can't resist
you play me like an instrument,
I love your mind cuz 
you already know that I let you.

This ain't a love song
it's the truth
and yeah, it's the first time
but I thank God it's with you
