I Want I want to feel the warmth of your skin As you hold me close, I want to feel the strength you hold deep within As your arms about me enclose. I want to see the fire in your eyes As you gaze into my soul, I want to see the depth of your love and pride Tempered into gentle, sweet repose. I want to smell your scent, so fragrant and soft, Like a garden in luscious bloom, The mingling of flower blooms and dew borne aloft Brightening even the deepest gloom. I want to taste the sweetness of your kiss As you share your heart with me, The soft, warm caress of your gentle lips Will set my tired soul free. I want to hear your heartbeat, so strong and true, And the gentle whisper of your breath; Sounds that have their own color and hue, They will lighten even the darkest of depths. All these things I want, I crave, I need to feel you near; Of all my wants the greatest is I wish that you were here. ~you reached inside, you touched my heart, |

"All these things I want, I crave, I need to feel you near; Of all my wants the greatest is I wish that you were here." Lovely, Terry. Maybe live as if she IS near and suddenly she'll appear - hmm? but maybe not with the same face or name - there are many parts to a whole. |
