Body Cravings

There aren't enough words in the world to write about the day your bright, sky blue eyes stole my heart. You're the only one who has stayed and been patient enough to pick my aching soul apart. 

I miss the way your strong arms wrapped around my little waist and when you'd kiss me; your lips, they'd always leave the sweetest taste.

I long for the day when I once again have your body right next to mine and to hear your calming voice telling me everything will be fine. 

I can't wait for the day when you are able to scoop me off of the floor and when next I get to experience all of you once more. 

I regret each and every one of our fights, especially the ones that kept us up every hour of some nights.

I regret not holding you closer, and each time I failed to think of our future. 

I am sorry for every time I cut you off when you were mid-phrase, because I long for your fingerprints in the places my body can never erase. 

My skin should shed all of its cells but your hands, they left these microscopic indentations so now my body craves you as well.
