To my love

I want to feel your arms around me. Enclose me in their strength.
Hold me in this moment. My questions then will cease.
Pull me tight against your chest. Brush the hair back off my face.
Place kisses there upon my brow, and let me linger in that place
Of comfort and of safety. You’ve been my beacon through the storm.
I want your body now against me, more than words to keep me warm.
If I shiver there in your embrace, it’s not the cold I feel,
But the rapture of your presence. Draw close and hold me still.
I’m like a bird that has been caged, I have the urge to fly.
But it’s to you I chose to go. You are the reason why
I dream the dreams I left behind, the ones I never thought I’d see.
This hope-filled future you made real by what you see in me.
So never ever let me go. It’s in your eyes that I
Will soar to places I’ve never known, and reach beyond the sky.
