hallelujah

i can feel it,

the cold air sneaks

through my open window—

it chills my skin, it

seeps into my bones.

and i can hear the

rain outside, 

pitter-patter—

and i can hear your 

heartbeat,

pitter-patter—

as you lay beside me 

i can feel your body

heat and it warms 

my skin right down

to my bones.

i can lie awake at

3AM thinking of how 

life is full of these 

contradictions but 

all i can muster is an

hallelujah 

before falling 

back asleep.
