I look at you
You absorb my mind, an everlasting battle between want to stare and longing to touch
You consume my thoughts, like fire consumes oxygen, leaving nothing behind

I breathe you in
Lights appear behind my eyes, snapping the world into crystal focus
Everything is fantasy, and yet I've never been more sure of reality

You hold me
Your warmth surrounds me and comforts me like no other
I am safe and loved and secure, and can relax my guard to rest

I hear you speak
Your voice is soothing, and melodious, and sturdy
Surrounding me with rich tones and assorted meanings, the best kind of music

I kiss your lips
Soft, salty, and sweet, your taste lingers for more than a moment
It ghosts across my tongue after our faces have parted, like fog on a late morning


… all leave me wanting more.
