This is all that I need,
The hours that you and I have known.
Your bones. Your skin. Things to be cherished.
Walking down the street with your arm sitting gently on my shoulder.
Noticing the little things that we happened not to notice before.
Here on this couch or there in the bed while you rest beside me.
The laundry washed, the dishes cleaned,
but what we accomplish is simply being together.
My flesh still hungers for your touch. A kiss. And both are given freely.
With you I lay down in peace and fly like a bird to your mountain.
