I can feel the magic floating in the air.
Being with you gets
me that way.
I watch the sunlight dance across your face and I've,
never been this swept away
I take a deep breath and release it, a smile on my face. I can almost forget everything I see at work when I'm with you; it's a purely magical aspect only you hold over me. I look to my left, where your head rests on my shoulder, eyes closed, you look so at peace. The sun leaks in through a crack between the drapes, leaving patterns on your face, and I can't help but smile at the golden patches of hair and small freckles illuminated on your skin.
All my thoughts just seem to settle on the breeze
When I'm
lying wrapped up in your arms
Usually my thoughts run wild in my head. But here, with you now, it's just different, better then you'll ever know, and Greggo, I don't think you'll ever understand, this past year has been amazing, and had someone said a year and a day ago, I'd be afraid to disturb the sleeping prince, that is you beside me I'd laugh my ass off.
The whole world just fades away
The only thing I hear
Is
the beating of your heart
I remember that fate filled night like it was yesterday. It had been one of those nights, where the lab is bogged down, and it seems that death will finally take over. I had a case with a 3 year old girl found covered in mud on the side of the highway. I was sitting in the locker room; I just couldn't seem to life myself off that bench and all the way home. That's when you came in placing an arm around my shoulders, and like I said there's something about you that just makes me let go. I started crying, right then and there, you didn't back off, just held me in your arms, my head against your chest. For some crazy reason, that made everything stop, that beating heart proved that there was still good, living and breathing in my world. Everything was gone, the only thing that mattered was that heart beat, if it stopped beating; I stopped living.
'Cause I can feel you breathe
It's washing over
me
Suddenly I'm melting into you
You stir and I'm brought back from my reverie. You've burrowed your head into my side, letting out a sigh. Even in your sleep you've managed to make me melt, I'm teary eyed just thinking about our past, your breath warm against my skin, sending wonderful chills down my spine.
There's nothing left to prove
Baby all we need is just to
be
Everyone knows now, I accidentally let the cat out of the bag the day something busted in the lab and made you all loopy, then I was scared, now, looking back, you were to most hilarious, most adorable high person I have ever seen.
Caught up in the touch
The slow and steady rush
Baby,
isn't that the way that love's supposed to be
I can feel you
breathe
Just breathe
They say a relationship has its phases. I believe that but I don't
believe that the excitement fades with each passing day, because
every time you touch me I still get that same exhilaration. True
love doesn't fade, and each time I feel your breath over my body is
thrown into over drive, as long as you exist, I exist. In a
way I know my heart is waking up
As all the walls come tumbling
down
I'm closer than I've ever felt before
And I know
And
you know
There's no need for words right now
You turn your head and blink up at me, a smile gracing those gorgeous pink lips. My heart swells, I'm yours forever, and I can tell by the glimmer in those chocolate eyes, that you know it, I kiss the top of your head; actions say more than words ever could.
'Cause I can feel you breathe
It's washing over me
Suddenly
I'm melting into you
There's nothing left to prove
Baby all we
need is just to be
Caught up in the touch
The slow and steady
rush
Baby, isn't that the way that love's supposed to be
I can
feel you breathe
Just breathe
You roll over onto your stomach running your hand lazily across my
chest in a pattern that's unpredictable, much like you. You kiss
my shoulder, and I smile. This. Is. Bliss. Caught up in the
touch
The slow and steady rush
Baby, isn't that the way that
love's supposed to be
I can feel you breathe
Just breathe
"Forever and always Greggo," I whisper.
You move to my lips planting a chaste kiss upon them before singing the last line of the song on the clock radio set to wake us to head to lunch at Gil and Sara's.
"I can feel the magic floating in the air
Being with you gets me that way."
Turns out you've been listening all along.
The woman's voice flows from the speakers, you lay your head on my chest and Just Breathe. Life can wait a few moments more.
