Tenderly, with your arms around me
your lips close to my ear
your head against my shoulder
your hair on my cheek
your warmth, surrounding me
your still, calming air
your eyes, mostly closed
your form next to mine
your breathing, soft and deep
your quiet silence
your gentle, stirring touch…
You are everything I dream of
and nothing I can know –
without you here, beside me,
holding me just so…
your lips close to my ear

your breathing, soft and deep
your quiet silence

You are everything I dream of
and nothing I can know –
without you here, beside me,
