The Fire Between Us

The quintessential centre of my heart bleeds for you.
My body moves in rhythm with yours.
I feel like I’ve known you my whole life.
You’re an enigma, placid in a world of chaos.
I need to be close to you, to feel the frisson of your presence.
You ignite a fire in me that leaves me breathless.
My thoughts circle back to you again and again.
There are words left unsaid, feelings we haven’t completely explored.
An ocean is between us.
The weight of stillness settles about me like a heavy blanket.
Our relationship defies distance and bounds.
It is a profound phenomenon.
Every glance and every word flows naturally.
A rhythm only our hearts understand.
The world fades away, and in your arms,
I discover the place I can never leave.
