As I lay to sleep at night

I long for you to be near

Your hair in my face

Your breath on my skin

A whisper in my ear

I long for that first touch

In my heart and on my skin

So soft, So sweet

Touching me within

I would hold you in my arms

As you would fall asleep

For I would be your strength

When you are down

And when you are weak

I am longing to share this moment

With you next to me

And cherish each and every day

Forever

               Honestly
