On This Day
On this day, I need you
your warmth against the winter’s quiet chill,
your breath a soft and steady melody
that turns the silence into something real.
I need my love by my side, in my arms,
to feel the world contract to just us two,
your heartbeat answering my heart’s alarms,
a rhythm only I was meant to know.
I want to hold you close beneath the lights,
to trace the laughter lines around your eyes,
to whisper promises into the night
that time itself will never compromise.
I want to show you off, my brightest star,
let every stranger see what I have found
the rarest beauty, near yet never far,
the quiet thunder of your heart’s sweet sound.
On this day, be with me, love, and stay;
the world is perfect when you’re here to share
the simple miracle of Christmas Day
wrapped in your arms, beyond all compare.
