I Long to Kiss You

In these quiet moments

With eyes shut

I feel your breath against my cheek

And I long to kiss you

I touch my hand

To your chest

And feel the steady rise and fall

Of your breathing

Caress your skin

As you sleep

And trace the outline of your body

As it curves beneath the blanket

In these private hours

I close my eyes

Smile softly

And wait for you to wake
