Impressions of bodies pressed together

In the dark.

Sheets cover,

And shudder,

And flutter,

In the cold breeze.

Arm embrace;

Fingers trace

Along the long lines of face,

Space,

And time.

Lips part,

And start:

Whispers of silent dreams and unspoken truths.

Love is professed;

Hair is messed;

Lying in the dark.

Eyes close;

We chose.

Finally, comes sleep.

Goodnight.

I love you.
