Sometimes

Sometimes I catch myself slipping
And dreaming of your lips
Sometimes I catch myself falling
For some magic that I've missed

I could lose myself in you
And be glad to not be found
With your hair between my fingers
Your breath, my favorite sound

Sometimes I catch myself dreaming
Of a time, some years away
And hoping with all my heart
That when it comes, I'll be okay

My heart, though it sometimes fails me
Beats your name out, every letter
And I hope some days that you'll have it
Because it would serve you better

Sometimes I catch myself wishing
That time was not so steady
For if it were more fluid
My love would be more ready

For now, you speak of others
And I promise that that's okay
But I wish I could be a lover
To wash the others all away

Sometimes I catch myself tumbling
Into a place I cannot tell
Sometimes I catch myself hoping
That you feel this way as well
