The Thrill of Her Hand

The thrill of her hand slipping into yours
     or her cheek searching out your neck

  That weakness in the back of the knees
     the lump in the throat that can't be suppressed

        ~ How did I let these memories evanesce

I too often forget the thrill of that first touch. It's important to recollect the value of those things to appreciate what you still have (assuming you're still with them.)

Special memories for sure Gershon. They bring us back to life when remembered...
