The One I Love

I look to the one I love and ponder what I'm feeling:

I see the arms that hold me tight
Connected to the big yet gentle hands
The system that hugs away my fright

I hear the heart that makes mine race
Pumping blood throughout this lifeform
So calm and full of grace

I smell the coconut from his hair 
The beautiful golden locks
He tussles them without a care

I touch his warm chest
The best place to lie my tired head
I know that I am truly blessed

I taste his sweet kiss
His perfect lips pressed against mine
This is the true meaning of bliss

I look to the one I love and I am overwhelmed with emotion
