I love when you smile; your face loosens up, and your eyes glitter with happiness. They look that way when you see me. I feel so blessed to be able to see that I bring you joy and life. Your body is my fortress, I find comfort and safety in the haven of your caress. I couldn't imagine a world without you pulling me in by my hips and holding me close and strong, as if I were the last flower in the world and you were protecting it from the harsh elements of the outside world. Your laugh, it rings with such a zest for life, a zest for me and all I have to give you. I could give you the world; however, what truly matters is that I give you all of me, and you give me all of you. Love is all I ask for; I wish to give and receive love, a never ending cycle. I want the cycle to be that of a waterfall, as its falls replenish and recycle water a thousandfold, though never ceasing in it's majestic beauty. I want love that never dies. I want to keep you, all of you, for as long as my heart continues to beat and beat and
*beat into yours.
