Love Poem: Cause, Baby

Cause, Baby

Ooh, I can hear the wind blow on this cold winter morning
Rising with the sunrise really is not what I wish to do
Stay beneath the blanket while the wind howls outside the window,
Snuggling close together, staying warm. Is that for you?

I feel so safe and warm, under here, this very moment.
Sensing your arm around me, though I know you’re not awake.
Loving every minute of this quiet time, I have now.
Wishing not to rise, this feeling, not to take.

But quickly I remember that last night was Friday evening,
Therefore this morning’s rise is mine to decide.
I will stay right here, snuggled tightly to your bosom,
‘Cause, baby, I can’t leave then if it’s cold like this outside.

Snuggling up closer, yeah, right there, that’s where it’s at.
Feeling every worry and fear, in my body, start to go,
Provides a smile to my face and a fire to my furnace,
There’s heat under this blanket, while outside there is snow.
