i woke up feeling safe in your arms
how was your night?
your words break
from your lips
through the sleepy haze
that will justify this
to ourselves and others
in the afternoon
because i cannot explain
by myself
how drunkness
breaks down awkwardness
while two people
sleep too close
on a couch
for one
but i woke up feeling safe in your arms
knowing you never hurt me
nor would you ever get the chance
