Wrapped in Forever - Arden Coley
When our breath curls in the streetlight glow
Your scarf on my neck and I move slow
We walk through the cold where the city slept
Past closed up shops and promises kept
You tucked your arm through mine, no need to say
That you were choosing me anyway
Wrapped in forever
Not gold, not grit
Just your quiet warmth and your steady hand
Wrapped in forever
Like wool in the rain
Love that protects me from old, old pain
I used to fear time like a thief in the hall
But with you the years feel tender, not tall
And I see our life like a long, soft thread
Stitching tomorrow to what we've said
Wrapped in forever
Like gold, not grit
Just your quiet warmth and your steady hand
Wrapped in forever
Like wool in the rain
Love that protects me from old, old pain
We share one blanket, one movie, one side
Two separate hearts that don't need to hide
I kiss your forehead, you smile in your sleep
And forever feels close and steep
Wrapped in forever
Like gold, not grit
Just your quiet warmth and your steady hand
Wrapped in forever
Like wool in the rain
Love that protects me from old, old pain
If I wake up older, I'll still remember
I was wrapped in forever
In your December
