Lines in the Flesh
One Gentle Touch
You lay your head on my chest
I run my fingers through your hair
You know it's my favorite thing to do
I feel your body relax and it feels as if you melt into me
I lightly trace my finger along your face
I love the way your skin feels
But your eyes are my favorite
I lightly trace over your eyebrows
As I stare at your rested eyes
Then my gaze travels over the rest of your face
Seemingly memorizing every little feature
Your voice rings out, your eyes still closed
You tell me how fast my heart is racing
But who could blame me?
My mind wanders to thoughts I shouldn't have
Guarded is what I should be
But when you look up at me
I can't help but smile
Those thoughts disappear
All I can see is you.
