For the First Time

You are not beside me

yet I feel your touch on my skin.

A gentle heated breeze,

as your thoughts caress me again.

Love, it seems, can find me

in each place I thought I could hide.

Gone are safety barriers,

joy now refuses to be denied.

When I look into your eyes

and see passion reflected there,

my heart skips several beats

and my lungs refuse to hold air.

I crave your gentle kisses,

they now turn my knees to jelly.

Each time I look at your lips

tortured knots form in my belly.

Despite my best intentions

to remain just as a close friend,

you’ve become a part of me

and I no longer can pretend.

Tonight for the first time

you will hear me say “I Love You.”

Words you are now reading

will be most sincerely renewed

 Tonight…….
