The profile of your face
Burned in my mind
The sensation of bristly skin
Still felt pressed against my body
Reminding me of our closeness
Sparkling eyes lost in wonder
As you tell me stories
Overwhelmed by your laughter
Engulfed in your dreams
The stroke that makes me quiver
In ecstasy when you caress me
The warmth of your arms
Embracing me in love
Distance overwhelms
But memories cannot destroy
That which is carved
Into my being
And remains
Forever in me
Whether together or apart
