What is a lover’s embrace? 
There are many definitions 
but I believe that by far 
that best articulation is this. 
It's the type of hug where 
you wrap your arms 
around her waist 
and pull her close and tight 
against you with no space 
betwixt you and her. Flush 
Together with her arms 
Around your neck 
And your forehead 
Against her forehead, 
Lips yearning for the inevitable 
Kiss, but you withhold for 
A moment, enjoying the moment 
Of sharing your presence, 
Bathing in her sweet scent, 
And the feeling of her softness 
Held right up against your chest 
Eyes locked into her starry nights. 
The type of hug you relive for days 
afterward, mind full of every second 
of that moment of connection 
as you breathed in her essence. 
This is the lovers embrace.
