Be

Melting into my arms
About to close a door
Or possibly open one wide open
A heartbeat against mine
Racing thoughts fade suddenly
There before me is a opportunity
A moment in time
Anticipated countless times
Acted upon never
Her lips on mine
The deepening of her chest
I hold her close
She never tries to leave
She stays in my arms
I trace her face with my hand
Like touching a dream
The only one I can remember
She smiles
I’m afraid
But I don’t care
I will be whatever this is
I will be.
