Your breath strokes me like
Warm, loving hands to chase away any burden
You soothe me

Your hazel gaze guides me
Through my darkest hours and brightest days
You lead me

Your heart embraces mine
Over time and space as if neither were between us
You fulfill me

Your voice lifts me
Crunching pain like so much frost beneath my feet
You heal me

Your passion urges me
To learn every way to please and inspire you
You enrapture me

Your fragrance drifts on the wind
Finding only me to fill my senses to intoxication
You mesmerize me

Your hands grace over my skin
Reaching beyond the limits of my dreams and desires
You touch me

Your spirit finds me
Leading me home to you when I’ve lost my way
You protect me

Your memory fills my mind
Soft and undeniable distraction keeping me alive and sane
You possess me

Your love gives me the will and strength
To conquer anything this life can hurl in my direction
You move me

Your soul is the other half of mine
Missing so long, combined to become one forever
You complete me...
