There’s a gentleness

when you

hold me.

A soft, almost

anticipation

in your 

eyes.

Our breath

syncs,

and I cannot

distinguish

my heartbeat

from yours.

My cheeks

are wet,

as strong

emotion escapes

my body.

So this

is what it 

feels like

to truly 

live.

This simple

magnificent pleasure,

of being fully

seen, and 

wanted.
