Alone Together

I want to have you close to me.

Feel the heat of your body warming mine.

Soak in our nervous laughter.

See the color in your cheeks.

Remind me that I am alive.

Fumbling and stumbling.

Tracing out the maps of our bodies.

Defining and blending lines.

Whispered promises and I love you's.

Rumpled sheets. Lusty sighs.

Hands reaching. Uncertain eyes.

Our souls searching for acceptance.

Skin on skin.

Breathing each other in.
