I want  to  kiss you
in   all   the  places
your   pulse   beats
beneath  your skin.
I want my fingertips
to  trace  your  neck
as  I  slowly breathe
you in.
I  want   your  kisses
on  every inch of me
so  that   your   lips
leave me with stains.
I'll press   my  body
against   yours  and
feel  the  blood  rush
through  your  veins.
You found parts of me
I didn't know existed
and  in  you  I  found
a  love   I  no  longer
believed   was   real.
Love is a commitment
to  protecting  another
person's   heart  with
the same  passion you
use to  guard your own.
