Your presence engulfs me,
the way a blanket covers my rigid skin
in a cold winter's season.
Your gaze strikes through
the hard wall of my heart and
stays within.
All gestures that you create
calm the day-long storm within me.
The skies stretch out further than
my eyes can see,
And when your spot next to mine is empty,
I long for you more and more
than the moment
just
before.
