Over The Moon

There’s nothing better
I’d rather do,
than be the name you breathe
when the world goes quiet.

I’m lost in you —
completely,
utterly.
I might as well be
over the moon.

You call when the night is kind.
You stay just long enough
to make it feel like maybe.
But never long enough
to stay.

Still,
I wait.
Still, I hope
you’ll want me
like I want you.

Don’t tell me how to love you
when you never really asked me to.
Don’t draw me close
just to let me go
when morning comes.

But yet,
here I am.
Yours.
If you’d just ask.
Over the moon —
but still
holding my breath.

Because I’d be your baby,
if you let me.
