The way your lips press to mine,
The way our fingers intertwine.
Your smile is captivating.
I can’t believe that you’re mine.
My head on your chest,
The sound of your heartbeat
Pounding hard as mine.
The sound is second best.
The comforting feel of your arms
Wrap around me, hold me tight.
Like a baby bird in the nest
They keep me safe from all harm.
Please just hold me near to your heart.
Where I can keep my secrets,
Explore emotions, share my soul.
Hold me there, never to part.
