the light

like no one ever could

i miss your soothing singing songs,
and your silky smooth skin.

your nimble fingers running,
through my tender and tangled heart.

your sweet smile,
framed by your bright cheek bones,
hugged by bronzed and freckled cheeks.

i miss y o u,

every inch and fiber,
every bit and piece,
that makes you,
you:

the way you snort when you laugh,
quiet but cute;

the way your words flow,
freely and without filter;

the way you hold my hand,
with your reassuring grip;

and the simply exquisite way,
you show your love:
through kisses,
shy looks,
and listening ears;

the way you touch my body,
like no one every could.
