it used to be

A breath, a whisper, a second glance.
A stare that reaches parts of me I knew not;
pulls at heartstrings.
Like fresh air after the rain you fill me
so completely.
Your arms envelop me, my sweet drowning.
A lyrical laugh, a cheeky smile;
a symphony for my senses.
A touch, a graze, a gentle kiss.
A reason to smile a smile that’s true.
Moments spent in silence that are filled with their own rhythm.
A quickened breath, a longing that aches, a change of beat.
Embrace…
Hours lost but never forgotten.
A sunrise missed, your body close;
the sun can wait.
Light dances on your skin in the midday heat.
A perfume warms and lingers in the air.
A breath, a whisper, a second kiss.
It’s heat, it’s tension and unspoken truths.
It’s beautiful; my smiles and butterflies.
