I long to say ‘I love you’

And feel you hold me tight

I need to hear you breathing

As we rest our heads at night

I yearn to kiss you soundly

With passion in my heart

And then to feel you kiss me back

As though we’d never part

I'd love to love you wholly

And for you to love me too

Our bodies rapt in love’s embrace

Entwined as lovers do

These things desired are precious

Unique as we can be

The heart of you in harmony

Beside the heart of me.
