Face To Face, Cheek To Cheek

To mould my lips upon your lips, and lay my softness there,
    This is the dream I have of you, to show you how I care.
To place my arms around you, surround you with my touch,
    This is the way I feel of you, to love you very much.
To caress the contours of your face, in the deepness of the nite,
    This is the thought I hold of you, your smile by moonlite.
To share the warmth of our bodies, as we lay beneath the covers,
    This is the wish I long of you, yes, I am your lover.
To reveal how I will love you, satisfy your heart’s desires,
    This is the promise I give of you, to perform all that you require.
To kiss you, hold you, touch you, love you, be there as you need,
    These are the passions I proclaim of you; pray that you believe.

I appreciate your thoughts: it has been a few decades since I've had those emotions for a woman, she passed in 96.
