That Is The Way
©Holly Charlton

That is the way the sun sets
That is the way the moon rises
That is the way you hold me
And because it is the way that you hold me like that
Everything about you
The way your arm curls around me
The way you smell
Infatuation, intoxication
Total and complete surrender
Of myself to you, I succumb
Absentminded coz it's natural, love
Purposefully, always thought, care and consideration
Behind the expressions of love
So dear to me you are
No one else on this world, at any time
Past, present nor future, could I ever wish to be with
Could I possible want to call mine
Darling, the way your each and every breath rises against my neck
It never ceases to make my heart flutter,
Or thrill my whole very being
When your breath recedes, it makes my skin tingle
A slow whirlwind, steadfast and beating with you
In time and tune, yes we act and function
The way your lips brush past my hair
And nuzzle my earlobe
The essence of you
I love every inch and every second
Of you and when we're together
Forever I shall feel just like this.
