Aaron and Jack. | a poetry love story

sleep well, handsome

The questions explode in my head

Will I survive to your haunting eyes?

Will I be able to tell you how I feel?

Will you stay here if I ask you to?

I'm always meticulous about things

Things like these, love-related topics

I try to be cautious about my heart

While you take risks all the time

The question explodes on my lips

And I ask you for a talk in the yard

Taylor sips the wine in her cupful

Tells us she's gonna sleep, it's a lie

We both know she's gonna write more

But she knows I have something to do

She senses when you are in love

And she gives the right space for you

It's been a cold September night

And all of the leaves up on the trees

Are starting to fall on the ground

And I fall for you while you're here

So, live well, handsome, live well

Before my feelings make you run away

So, live well, handsome, live well

I hope you stay after my sentence

You put your arms right around me

On our way to the dark backyard

And I know I'm already in trouble

I think of it every time you touch me

Your comfort smile is everything

Everything I need to speak my truth

Fill my lungs with the deepest air

"Jack, I think I have feelings for you"

It was the most romantic words I said

In a very long time for someone else

You take a step back, cross your fingers

And take a letter from your pocket

"I've been planning this for the last week

But now you just ruined my speech

'Cause I have feelings for you, too

Aaron, you're a mystery, it's true"

It's been a cold September night

And all of the leaves up on the trees

Are starting to fall on the ground

And I fall for you while you're here

So, speak now, handsome, speak now

Before the feelings make us run away

So, speak now, handsome, speak now

I hope these butterflies don't go away

Taylor and William took a bedroom

Me and you, another king-sized bed

Stripped emotions, light of the moon

Stripped clothes, you hold my neck

One kiss is all it takes to fall for you

One touch is all it takes to want you

And all at once, my dreams come true

And all at once, you're melting for me

Scary stories told in the dark room

But they're not stories about myths

The only folklore here is our fears

The only myth here is our monsters

Laying down my defenses for you

Laying down your body next to mine

I hold you close so I won't lose you

To the morning or to the sunrise

It's been a cold September night

And all of the leaves up on the trees

Are starting to fall on the ground

And I fall for you while you're asleep

So, sleep well, handsome, sleep well

Before we wake up and run away

So, sleep well, handsome, sleep well

I hope you stay once you're awake

I say, "sleep well, handsome Jack"

You say, "sleep well you, too, Aaron"

I say "sleep well, handsome Jack"

You say, "sleep well you, too, Aaron"

I say "sleep well, handsome Jack"

You say, "sleep well, handsome Aaron"

I say "sleep well, handsome"—

You say, "sleep well, handsome"—
