to feel the sunrise of a day
and the warmth in its rays
to feel the smother of lips
and the strength of an embrace
to feel a heart beat just within mine
and know its there to stay
to feel safety in exposing a life line
and trust that it won't be in vein
to feel a sigh in a steady gaze
and the promise to love no matter the pain
to feel the joy in a memory
and hear the laughter in comfort
to feel anything at all
and not stop the terrifying splendor
