Your New Year's Regret

My sensuous scent will hover all around
And drive you mad and lift you off the ground
You’ll call for me, but I won’t make a sound

The vision of my face will tease your mind
You’ll strive in vain, my hands and heart to bind
You’ll search for me, but I won’t let you find

Sweet thoughts of me will torture you so much
A drive to kiss my lips, my hair to clutch 
You’ll reach for me, but I won’t let you touch

Your fingers run along imagined waist
And circle places where your tongue once traced
You’ll crave for me, but I won’t let you taste

Your chance has passed; you see me now fly free
Sweet sultriness is what’s inside of me
You’ll wish for me, but I will let you be

The sorry truth is....I must let you be.

Ha this is good, serves him right for not fully appreciating you. Personally I would like this one better without the last line, it takes your power away. I like when you write from power.
