Can it be only minutes
since you left me breathless
clenching sheets with fingers
aching to dig into your taunt flesh
pulling you closer and closer
allowing free access
into love's sweet bower.

Can it be only hours
since you left me
your aroma clinging to me
following me throughout my day
the essence of you
permeating my very being
reminding me of you.

Can it be one night
longing for you
waiting for you to return
taking me to places no other
has ever shown me before
leaving me breathless once again
before slumbering peacefully in your arms.
