Lesbian Longing

I wish for you
Like I wish for air
when I cannot breathe
To me the feelings are indistinguishable
from one another

I lay awake at night
dreaming of your touch
hoping for your voice
longing for your lips against mine

The longer I think
the more I believe
I need this to survive
your touch
your skin
your mind
your being
I need to crawl into you and you into me
until we are one and just like my feelings
are indistinguishable from one another

My chest aches in your absence
Merely a fleeting thought of you
is enough
to set me on fire
And how I long to be burned
