So Many Miles

I wanted to tuck your forehead,
beneath my cheek
feel your lashes brush my throat
sense you breathe against my chest
I wanted to feel your neck
pulsate to our love
feel your heart beating
on the other side of your breast
I wanted to put my lips to yours
and feel the heavens
spin around and around
for no reason at all
I wanted to caress your fingers
and feel that softness
from the tenderness in your hands
as we whirled about our nest
I wanted to feel your hips
against me as we danced
in reckless abandon,
through the thickness of the night
But you are there,
and I am here, and it's miles before we meet
so many miles before we meet......
