I need you
more than you'll ever know
& more than I would ever show.
I need the warmth
of your flesh
against mine,
wrapped between
passion stained sheets,
that we silently weave in.
I need that face
that pokes out at me
from beneath,
with that foggy smile
that's greets me like the sun.
I need the way you look at me
like a child looks at the world
for the first time,
wide eyed, and taken.
I need those arms
that hold me
like a broken dove,
carefully caressing
every inch of my pain.
I need the strength that I feel in your love.
The backbone
made of dreams
and plans we've made
that keeps me from being crushed
by the weight of the world
which I so innocently laid on my shoulders.
I need that look in your eye.
The one that kills me,
only to bring me back to life,
and then again to the moon.
I need that smile,
that glowing crescent moon,
that sends me straight to heaven
in a heartbeat.
I need my hands, filled with yours.
I need my heart to be yours.
I need your love to be absorbed,
into my soul through every pore.
