Complete

I feel safe when you are near, 
like a baby nestled in his mother's arms. 
I can breathe without gasping, 
speak without stammering, 
my embarrassment fades 
in the glow of your smile. 

There is no pretense. 
I need no safety net; 
your closeness brings 
a feeling of well-being. 

Dancing with the lights low 
and kissing in the rain, 
holding you so tight, 
and hoping that you'll never let me go 

I feel complete.
