TOWEL

I feel the gentle caress
Of the natural softness
As I enfolded myself beneath
These artificial wings

I snuggled closer
Smiling in every thought
Feeling it’s your arms
And not this silky piece of cloth.

I closed my eyes and dreamt
Of the water, the laughter
The time we shared this towel
When we took our first shower… together.
