SILK ON SANDPAPER

What if I had never met you?
Would I be sitting here now waiting for someone else?
Would I be just as lovesick?
Would his eyes captivate me the way yours do?
Would they be the same brilliant swirl of blue and green?

Somehow I don't think so

I don't think anyone else could ever make me feel quite as beautiful or be quite as wonderful as you
He wouldn't have your smile with it's boyish curl.
He wouldn't have your voice with it's endearing sarcastic spark.
He wouldn't be you.
And that is all that matters
because all I ever want is to be in your presence
to feel you touching my skin
to taste you on my lips
and to touch your face when you haven't shaved
with my fingertips--like sandpaper on silk...
Sometimes I imagine what it would be like to have you bury your face in my neck.
To be tickled by the rough hair on your chin and to feel your lips pressed against the hollow of my throat...
and I smile
the way I always do when you are on my mind.
