A Warm Embrace

For all those times I’ve held you close 
and felt our bodies intertwine, 
your warmth sustains my heartbeat’s surge 
whenever yours is close to mine. 

Each breath with you fulfills my soul; 
a part of you goes through my veins. 
My breathing often matches yours 
and all the love that it sustains. 

To hold you closely is to know 
that we should always be as one. 
To be together is to know 
my love for you has just begun. 

A love that’s just begun is what 
we’ve formed from all the times we’ve shared. 
The times we’ve shared shows avid love 
beyond the others we’ve compared. 

I’ll always want to hold you tight 
and never let you get away. 
We’ll cherish all our special times; 
my love for you will never sway. 

If we should never love again 
you’ll always know this sense of peace. 
Reminders of our warm embrace 
will show our love will never cease.
