This is a hymn for a him,
Close your eyes, imagine,
Soft, dextrous hands in motion,
Soothing aching muscles with lotion,
Smoothing with unguents,
Rubbing with emollients,
R.....E.....L....A.....X.....I.....N......G.....
You'­ll wake up smiling,
I'll ease away your frowning,
Compliant massage dreaming,
Healing hands for him,
Close your eyes, imagine........

Friends are the "worth it" factor in life
Connecting with people you never thought
Imaginable to be close to you
Connecting with others from different experiences
Friendship really is a magical thing,
Friendship is patients
With that one problem that you've had enough of hearing
Friendship is bonding
That one "stupid" activity that actually makes you laugh in the end
Friendship is caring
That moment you risk your white shirt for lipstick to lay their head in your shoulder to cry
Friendship is just being there
Being there anytime, to just say I love you, best friend, or just a small gesture letting them know you're thinking if them
Friendship is Love

Your lips brush against mine,
At first soft and sweetly.
But as you lean in closer,
Your kiss grows even deeper.

You explore my body,
Like a lost island you've been searching for.
My eyes giving you permission,
Whispering it's all yours.

Your hands strip away my insecurities,
Replacing them with your warmth.
Close enough to feel the beating of your heart,
It's speaking softly with mine.

No fear or pain when we're gently pressed together.
Our bodies reminding us of the real meaning of love.

And as we lay side by side,
Drifting to sleep.
Your arms wrap around me,
In the soft place I can be.

Being held in your embrace,
Your head against my chest.
How could you wonder why,
I love this so so much?

It's gentle security against the:
Mind that claws itself every day,
People sparring against our hope,
Tumultuous times this life gives.

An act of love, of friendship,
Compassion and closeness.
You are my companion,
A joy unrivalled in my life.

Everything said here,
Is captured in a perfect act:
Our arms wrapping around,
Bodies pressed together.

Your hugs. My hugs.
