Awakening
Need
As dawn transcends night
I
awaken with intense need.
I
reach for you only to find
your
presence evaporate
with
the last vestiges of a dream.
But
the need remains - painful and raw.
I need to hear your voice
to
feel how it resonates to my core.
I
need to hear your laughter
to
feel how it heals my battered spirit.
I
need to hear the words
to
feel that flutter only you can create.
I need to touch you
to
confirm to myself you are real.
I
need to caress you
to
imprint you to my mind and soul.
I
need to hear the words
to
feel how you embrace my heart.
I need to love you
to
feel your passion take flight.
I
need to meld with you
to
feel our souls intertwine.
I
need to hear the words
to
feel how you make me whole.
