If I ran into you today,
I would not have the will power
to resist reaching for your hand.
If you held my hand back
I would move closer for a hug.
If by some stroke of luck
you hugged me back -
I would hold on.
Every second a lifetime.
I would drink in your smell.
I would relish the heat of your body.
I don't think I could resist,
a small kiss on your cheek,
hoping you would turn
ever so slightly so that our lips would brush.
And Oh GOD, if I brushed your lips
I could not stop myself
from greedily tasting the sweetness of your kiss.
I would hold you so tightly,
kiss you so deeply.
While memorizing every sensation.
So that when I am alone at night
I could take refuge in the thoughts
of how badly I long
to have you lying
next to me.
