I usually shy from feeling
Another person against my skin.
I'm fragile and gentle and tormented
My bones are paper-thin.
You, however, are an exception.
I love your sweet caresses.
The love and warmth you give
Pull me from emotional messes.
Though I can't see you now,
Know it you of whom I'm thinking,
Dreaming of the better times
When you've saved my soul from sinking.
Now I'd write the world for you
To simply show the grasp you have
Of my entire beating heart, you see,
I've not withheld myself even half.
The words wouldn't come together,
And I'd ramble on for hours,
Never finding the proper way to tell
How intense I feel love's powers.
I know you've much better things
To do than read more lines
So I guess I'll end this letter here
Until your lips once more graze mine.
