I close my eyes and am held by the warm embrace of recognition in your gaze.

I am yours,
you are mine,
bound by a force that transcends space and ignores time.

I lie safely exposed,
my faults covered only by the canopy of your indulgent smile.
My skin ignites at your gentle touch and my name shivers on your lips.

Only in your presence do I exist
where I can breathe
and be whole.

Only in you can I find myself.
