When You...

When you pull your hair back with palms running over your mane, hairpin nestled between your teeth,

I ask myself,

Have I ever experienced such a sensual moment before?

 

When your lips caress my skin and stay there for a brief second,

I ask myself,

Have I ever felt so gently touched by anyone before?

 

When you lock your fingers into mine tightening your grasp,

I ask myself,

Have I ever felt so wanted by someone before?

 

When you listen to me all attentive with wide open eyes,

I ask myself,

Has anyone ever made me feel like a raconteur before?

 

When you remember every occasion always surprising me with a gift,

I ask myself,

Has anyone made me feel so special before?

 

When you rest your head on my shoulders holding my arms,

I ask myself,

Have I ever felt a stronger urge to protect someone before?

When you cross the road strolling languidly towards me,

I ask myself,

Have I ever been this mesmerized by an arrival before?

 

When the lips part to reveal that naughty smile of yours,

I ask myself,

Have I ever witnessed any revelation this magical before?

 

When you walk beside me recounting tales and anecdotes aplenty,

I ask myself,

Have I ever longed for a journey to go on and on forever before?

 

When you gently place your hand over mine reassuring me consoling me,

I ask myself,

Have I ever felt so understood by anyone before?

 

As you wave at me before heading home with your eyes never leaving mine,

I ask myself,

Have I ever feared losing anyone this much before?
