Touch

I cannot wait to touch you, softly To run my fingers through your hair Around the edges of your ears Your temples, your cheeks Touch the tip of your nose Trace the outline of your lips ... and then again ... and again, more gently each time Put your chin in the palm of my hand Feel the outline of your jaw Caress your neck Sense the vibrations as you whisper my name Close my eyes and hear you say my name Wrap my arms around you Around your body Around your chest And drift off to sleep And dream... Dream of walking with you on the beach Standing with you in the ocean Lying with you on the sand... For hours For days For years Forever
