The mere thought
Of your gentle embrace,
Turns me into an Astronaut
Floating gleefully through space.
_____________________
Falling infinitely through
Light and time,
Marveling at the fact
That you are now mine.
_____________________
I tumble.
I float.
I am weightless, like air.
When I see you with arms outstretched,
Instinct tells me
That you truly care.
_____________________
The weight of your words
Pulls me earthwards
And close to you,
I know that for me,
Only your love will do.
