Can't hear you speak
Yet your voice rings in me
Warm breath caressing
Moist lips teasing
I turn to look
The feeling leaves
I'm alone
Can't see you touch me
Yet feel your arms around me
Warm hands pulling me close
I'm kept warm and safe
I reach to touch
Grasp only air
I'm alone
Your words alone
Make me shiver and want
Wishing, desiring and waiting
Always words
They enchanted me
Captivated me
They mean the world to me
I can see you
Poised to jump
Muscles taut and ready
No doubt; fearless
I'm rapt, yet fear
What if...What if...
Then remember - I'm alone
I'm selfish in my want
Desires evoked by you
I'm lost, yet driven
I'm unsure, yet confident
My feet kiss the line
My hands outstretched
Reaching, open and ready
I know I'm alone
The feeling both fleeting and painful
I'm hungry, yet sated
I'm sad, yet delighted
Contradiction after contradiction
I see what evokes this
You, and only you
