just have to be

by Raine Wynd

in the semi-darkness of the moonlit living room,
you hold me as if the shadows were a threat
and i smile to feel the security of your warm embrace
sitting like this, i don't have to be brave
and you don't have to be strong
we just have to be
the quiet simplicity of the touch strikes a chord within me
i hesitate to break the mood with a wrongly spoken word
so i smile and just enjoy the way this feels
sitting like this, i don't have to question everything
and you don't have to make the right decisions
we just have to be
