Gentle tears glide down my face
This time not of sadness
This time
You wipe them away
And laugh quietly at my foolishness
Having you here
My one and only
TRUE love
After many years
I suffered
Always thinking about you
But never having you fully
Only as a limited friend
Torturing
But a necessity
For not having you as anything
Would kill me
All of my pain
Only makes this moment sweeter
I savor the feel of your arms
Wrapped protectively around me
Making me feel
safe
warm
secure
Nothing could ever
Make me trade this single moment
Here with you
Never would I give away your love
Not after all the pain and suffering
I went through waiting ever so patiently
For it
Your smell intoxicates me
I can hardly think
So much I wished to say
But your kiss
Tells me I need not say
One word
For I finally
For now and eternity
Have your love
Author notes
Surprisingly, I love it. Usually I hate my work and am never satisfied. Go ahead criticize, I like it enough, so any criticism can only help.
