Just You and I

Inspired from my own novel characters :)

I felt your breath

Tingling across my neck,

Felt your touch,

Threading through my back,

As you felt for me.

 

Felt your body

Pressing right on mine,

Snuggling for warmth;

Felt your lips

Gently pressing upon my forehead,

Your fingers running down my hips…

 

In my hopes, in my pleas,

Stay, I say,

Stay, and don’t go,

Don’t go to somewhere else:

You and I are all I know…

 

I swear I felt your arms

Wrapping around my waist,

As you whistle the soft hums

Into my ears as lullabies,

Said, I’d always been here,

You just never knew.

 

Your tender words I heard,

And even through my tears

I believed.

But tell me, when I reached out for you

Didn’t I feel that emptiness so new,

So vacant, so gone,

So strong, and so wrong?

 

I opened my eyes

And watched the emptiness face me;

What were those, deceits and lies

That I didn’t want to see?

 

And when I closed my eyes,

I felt you again.

Am I nuts or am I sane,

Wanting to be wherever you are

Dead or not, I don’t care,

Just you and I.

Awww, I really liked this. You described the setting so well that the reader can relate and feel your emotions with her. It's beautifully written. :)
