Longing For An Imprint

I want to hold you

In my soul forever.

Cherish every breath we share,

Foreheads touching, in the night.

Hold your memory dear to me

Even when we must part ways.

I want to feel your hands on me,

Know your touch so well

That I feel your ghost

Linger.

    So heartwrenching, that loss and feeling them there when they are no longer—powerful work.

    Foreheads touching in the night. I was confused at one point, did you ever connect in the first place.

    Sounds like two ships passing in the night. You connect but then one of you are gone. Kind of sad to me, but lots of chemistry while you are together. Well Done!!!
