The perfect shade

You're my favorite shade of nighttime 
When the stars light up the shadows under your eyes
And the moon plays games with your hair
And your eyes are as bright and reflective as the crescent in the sky

When the darkness catches your voice 
And whispers it in my ear from behind me
And your skin feels as soft
As moonbeams in a puddle of rainwater 

When your embrace could be mistaken for a blanket
And your chest for a pillow
And your steady breathing for a comforting bedtime story
As I drift off to dreams of you
