Sometimes I Think Love Is Tangled Feet

Sometimes I think love
Is tangled feet

Sometimes I think
It's Tuesday morning
Calling out of work
When you're not sick
To sneak in a few more hours
Of entanglement

Sometimes I think
It's the long line
Down the back of your body
When you're facing away from me
The horizon hiding under the blanket
Traceable only by my fingertips
Sunset forthcoming

Sometimes I think
Your alarm clock is wrong
That I've only been with you
A few seconds
Not hours
Not days
Not passing months
Wrapped up in your blanket
Pulled up next to you
Like you're floating in the ocean
And I'm your lifesaver

Sometimes I think
The bed is so massive
We'll get lost in it
Like a desert
And we'll meet at the oasis
Somewhere near the middle

Sometimes I think
I hear people coming and going
Outside your bedroom door
Wondering when we'll get up
And wake up
And stop being so ridiculous
Staying in bed for so long

Sometimes I think
When I wake up
You won't be here

Sometimes I think
I think too much

Sometimes I tangle myself up in you
On purpose
To tangle us up so badly
No one can pull us apart
