Love is all I require.
All I could want and desire.
Lust is not enough,
I need his tender kiss and touch; and
Admiration
for love is a healing station.
It is an eighty-mile-per-hour wind.
I smile. He grinned.
Warm in those arms:
I touch my fingers to his palms.
We continue like this, I don't want to miss.
Or should I throw it all away, and start again?
The heart-break tells me no.
I don't want to. Go! I have to stay.
Stay the night he insists. Luring me in with his cute charm and a kiss,.
But it hurts that this is superficial. I pray for it to just
be: real and official.
Every mili-second, of every hour we share
Love is looming in the air.
Or is it dooming? The bond we have, forever blooming.
Scented candles and bubble baths.
Drinking Prosecco out of a very nice glass.
We go to the theatre. Front row seats.
Out in the city, for a bite to eat...
But nothing that he has.
