When I am awake

There you are.
I see you.
In my mind,
in my thoughts,
in my dreams.

You are beautiful
in your colorful dress
eyes so bright
and delicate hands
searching
touching
feeling.

I want you
need you
to be in more than
my thoughts and dreams.

I need to wake up
and feel you beside me.

I need to be able to touch you
and hold you in my arms.
To be able to make
sweet love to you.

Do you hear me?
What I say.
Please understand
I need more
more than a dream.
I need you.
now.
here.
beside me.
