I Need You
I need you.
I need to run my hands through your hair.
I need to kiss your lips and your neck and your chest and your skin.
I need to draw shapes on your body with my fingertips.
I need to hold your heart with my words and your body with my arms.
I need to wake up next to you, if only to admire your wild hair and your crystal eyes.
I need to style your hair with irons and shampoo.
I need to give you makeovers to help you decide which color eyeshadow you want to flash for the day.
I need to hold your hand while you sit next to me in a car’s leather seat.
I need to admire your astonishing figure and your alluring smile.
I need to watch the sun’s rays bounce off your skin.
I need to delight in the brightness of your eyes whenever you see an animal.
I need to mark your neck with necklaces of rose gold jewelry.
I need to kiss you in the morning, not noticing any temporary variety in your taste.
I need to pluck the stars from the sky and set them at your feet.
I need to offer a diamond ring for your left hand to show off.
