When I Remember

I think of you on rainy nights
as darkness cloaks my bed.
And all my cherished thoughts of you
leap unbidden to my head.
When walking down a sandy beach,
I recall your suntanned skin.
Your golden hair, your stunning smile,
the strong shape of your chin.
Your gorgeous laughter comes to mind,
but then I realize
what I want most is to hold you close,
and gaze into your eyes.
