This feeling in my chest
About a woman
I don't know

And yet I really
want to know
this beautiful soul
even more than before

Seeing in her what I want
within my life
filling this nasty void
growing old together

Making and sharing experiences
raising a family
and just generally falling
for each other even more
as our time goes on

Sitting on top of a hill
with one story
watching over the land

Gardens surround its body
with stairs made of stone up to the door
a fence wrapped around the driveway

The bowels covered in knick knacks
while a connected living room-kitchen
buzzing with the residents’ energy

The kitchen window surveying
all the owner has
overlooking everyone and the trees

Two hearts wrapped
around each other
beating in sync

Both waiting for
their way home
but also not
wanting to leave

His urge to kiss her
being squelched and
the worry of this being
the right time gone

A feeling that
this is right and
as it should be
coursing through his subconscious

The separation between them
making him wonder, wait
and hope when he will
see her again

Come into my arms
and I will never let go
the warmth of your body
emanating against my own

Light brown skin
against my fingertips
soft to the touch

Hands running through
coal colored hair
flowing down your back

Two hearts mingling
yours with mine
sitting there getting
to know each other

Treasuring the time
I spend with you
hoping you won’t leave
