Binding

In time, the constriction of your love
Presses against my heart and lungs
Life is weak and weary, often teary
Except when it is absent for weeks and spent

A touch or gaze is all I need to amaze
My senses that I am not alone on this journey
Your needs are simply met and mine are too
Can we meet and greet our needs together?
