Tender Touch

what comes to mind?
the delicate lips she possesses,
maybe
the silkiness of her hair you feel when touched by it
the gentle touch of her smooth fingertips
gliding across your skin,
what is she searching for,
hope, prosperity
could be the contentment,
the one you lavish upon her
showing her not lust
but love,
it weakens her heart,
weakened by the love you provide
she is hesitant, 
but she’s become too soft 
to departure from you,
she lies there reminiscing 
questioning if she should vanish,
or linger in your presence 
she’s become too soft
