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
