I was near you today, if only for a moment.

And today I felt the wrinkles of worn fingers slide slowly across my heart
as a chest swelled faster than the lake we sit by while the rain pours down.
I have seen the soft curve of a shoulder falling slowly like snow on the calmest winter day,
and give way to embracing arms that bend like roads in the rolling hills at sunset.
The horizon is lovely.
I have seen wind kiss pink onto cheeks and blush as it runs away
and escapes through hair sitting, flowing down a broadened back.
I heard a song as a soul danced sweetly behind a smile,
each curve in each lip spilling music so serene.
And sunlight dancing with the colors of skin glowing brightly,
each scar sharing stories, each freckle a divine masterpiece crafted
slowly, delicately, and put quietly into place.
I felt a glow as calm as summer twilight, lit up with fireflies shining from each pore.
I felt a love that felt like home

I was near you today, if only for a moment.
A quick little piece, inspired by someone close to me.
