You

YOU

I want to listen to your heart beat;
feel the warmth of your chest beneath my cheek.
I want to tuck myself, into the curl of your arm, and breathe you. 
A kiss; I gasp for air, and inhale ... you. 
For you, my body becomes a symphony.

You
enrich my mind, fullfill my soul.
You
are my endless skies.
You
are my heartbeat, my breath.
You
are my dreams, my wishes.
You are me, 
and I,
am You.
