"WILDERNESS" by Michelle Mangal

The most beautiful thingI have ever knownwas you asleep in my bedme curved around youone last cuddlewhispering goodbyein the curls of your hairbefore I go to work.

I never knew I could love so much,That I could feel such tenderness,Just from you asleep in my bed.

For a few more minutes snuggled with youI'd miss my trainI'd bunked off schoolI forgot who I was.

All because of loving you,The boy asleep in my bed.
