I have been with my boyfriend for two years.  I am ready to commit to him, but that doesn't matter.  He isn't ready to commit to me.  Anyway, this is how I feel towards him.  Intimacy is something that escapes him I suppose.

Lie down beside my side
I can decipher what is on your mind
Touching your skin makes me feel whole
While next to your body I never feel cold

The air you breathe exhales so easily
If I were your air I could never leave
I would touch your heart and fill in the void
Drown out the sorrow you hold inside

I want to always be where you are
I’ll be the moon that shows the
Light of your star
You can dance like the wind on the sea
I will be waiting for you patiently

I can litteraly feel the sadness that you feel. Such emotions put into words. The intro has certainly added to the overall picture here. Well done.
I reallly liked these words "The air you breathe exhales so easily
If I were your air I could never leave"




 The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools.

I love him very much.  He is 32 with no kids and he has never been married.  I am 25 with a 5 year old daughter.  I am totally ready for a lifelong commitment, but that takes two.  I have came to a point in my life that makes me wonder about "love" and what it takes.  I love Joe more than any words could ever say.  Thanks for reading my poem.

Chris
