His hand sweeps underneath my hair It cups my cheek Breathe Five things I see: Lips Nose, a beauty mark, dark hair Crystal blue eyes His other hand holds the small Of my back Four I can touch: My skin Soft sleeves, metal watch His skin He leans his head in close I shudder Three sounds: His breath, my heartbeat His heartbeat He pulls me in close Two things I smell: His scent, my scent Intermingled He parts his lips I bite my own One thing I taste His kiss Anxiety erupts Like butterflies You keep me grounded And I love that.
