The Arms of You

I just this moment

This moment of you and I

To last forever

And for some reason,

All the anxiety that's

Bubbled up inside me--

Rests every time

You embrace me.

 

Your warm arms,

They sling around my body, 

It's more than a reassurance

As tough as you really are--

You give the best affection

Maybe this whole time

I was missing you. 

 

I'm drawn

To the curve of your lips,

Your soft stare

I'm drawn 

I long to be around you 

 

Hit me with your gentle wave, 

Of kisses-- 

Planted all over my face

Just to see my smile bloom

You tell me everything 

Without you knowing

That this is what I want

 

Conversations,

Life plans,

Late night jokes, 

Open thoughts 

You pour emotions

Into me as if--

I'm your personal ocean.

 

I hope you don't outgrow me,

If I resist,

I'll fall harder

And I need you to catch me--

With your warm arms.


The author's comments:

I enjoyed writing this piece because it shows how one could feel comfortable within their relationship with someone else. Just something as a simple embrace could make one feel at peace within their love life; especially if the person shows much affection.
