everything

What I’d give to see

Your face again 

To feel your warm embrace

Your strong arms around my body.

Rather,

What I’d NOT give

To have your in my arms

To have you have me

In your arms

Safe and warm;

For your exhale in my face

To feel you rising and falling

And into a deep sleep

All tucked gently between my arms

Knowing I won’t let go

And you could stay as long as

You needed

You wanted. 

There’s nothing I’d hold

Back just to look 

Into the beauty of your eyes

Into the depths of your heart

To tell you how much I adore

Them – you.

There’s nothing I’d hold back

To have you press

Your lips upon mine

And lay your head

And your weight all onto me

I’ll give everything to plant more

Kisses on your head

To listen to you speak,

To look into your eyes,

To look at that smile,

Endlessly.
