Her body. Her mind. Her soul -- a touch of youth, but old at heart.
The way she talks. The way she walks. The way she breathes -- deeply at first, but softly as she sleeps on.
The way she writes. The way she draws. The way she creates -- with passion, but with a calmness unlike her.
But most of all, I love the way she loves me.
I love the way she holds my hand. I love the way she kisses my lips. I love the way she loves -- cautiously as if I'll break, but then unbridled when she sees that I won't.
She holds my heart in her outstretched hands... And I won't try to take it back.
For R, with so much love that I sometimes believe my heart will burst.

Wow. It's been a while since I've written anything so long and so repetitious. Hope you enjoy. ** Leigh
