Cravings

I crave intimacy with you.

You awaken a desire within me that I thought long dead.

To lay with you, your steady breathing and heartbeat sounding against my ear. Your fingertips gently brushing stray hairs out of my face. The intimacy of calm existence.

To face the worst of all days that has yet to come, and to know that you will be at the end of it waiting to wrap me in your love. The intimacy of finding my home in you.

To be at odds, and still find comfort in the arms of your oddities. The intimacy in trusting you will stay.

To reach out at the cost of failure, inviting a new depth to our intimacy.

You are who I want to be naked with, baring my soul in all of its vulnerabilities before your eyes alone. To see you bare, seen to your core and loved all the more for it.

I long for our souls to meet again and to build intimacy.

I crave your presence.
