...we just haven't yet

By openureyes

I feel

as though
 I am

 melting

every time
I see
your face
and I
anticipate
every
 encounter
and what almost
is

my heart...
my heart
 beats
too fast


and I

cant

even

 catch

my breath

long enough
 to figure
the perfect words
 to say
to you...

I hang on
your every
 last word
I replay every look
experience every emotion
over again

you linger
far after our departure
I am
wrapped up
 in the gentle feel
of your presence
fixated on the touch
that we
 haven't
yet shared.
and I am
 consumed
with all

of what could be


and will.

    Captured to perfection...So delicate and intimate...Far more sensual than the picture of a painted final act :-)

  • A former member wrote: the anticipation... to be cherished no doubt. It's good to see you've a tomorrow that captures your attention ;)
