You've made it
You've survived
You've come home
You've come back to me
.
I feel your presence behind me
The scent of you reaches me
Your warmth flowing over me
Despite the remaining distance
.
Cheek pressed to pillow
I keep my eyes shut
Not a word inches up my throat
Awaiting your next move
.
Minutes slip by
.
My heartbeat accelerates
Tongue moistens parted lips
Fingers clutch the pillow
Body pulses with anticipation
.
I'm on the verge of pleading
Just come over here already
I need you desperately
I've missed you terribly
.
Come to me
It's been so long
Revisit the bed we've shared
Allow our souls to reunite
.
Seconds slip by
.
Keen ears detect movement
You kick your shoes off
They fly in opposite directions
One strikes the wall to my left
.
Cracking open an eye
I spot its black leather
Gleaming in the moonlight
Filtering through thin curtains
.
The sound of your belt buckle
Stirs the butterflies within
It soon hits the floor
Along with your shed clothing
.
Your breathing is audible, quicker
Just like mine
Our bed squeaks
When you finally add your weight
.
Blithe tears sting my eyes
When those calloused hands
Trail along my calves
Your fingertips moving up and down
.
You discard my pajamas
Replacing soft fabric with softer lips
Tender kisses, gentle nips
Triple the yearning I have for you
.
