You

For so long now
I have waited
To feel
The warmth
The genle heat
Of your body
Wrapped around my own.
To feel your touch
To have you here beside me
Holding me close
As though you will never let go.

Now, I need wait
No longer
As I stand here
Wrapped up in you
Listening
To your slow and steady heartbeat.

You are here with me
You are here to stay.

The only thing
I could ever call you
Is special.

Special is the word
That describes you best.
