Lingering

I linger like the dew on a humid morning
Unwilling to evaporate and lose the touch

Your words linger in the recesses of my mind
Long after the conversation has closed

Your scent lingers throughout the room
Fragrant and haunting

The touch of your lips lingers longest
Where you gently placed them upon my own

Like the dew in the heat of day
They are gone, to be renewed at dawn

Kiss me once more goodnight, then
reach over there and turn off the light
