I’ve Never Been Loved Before

Sometimes I long so deeply for the hands of this invisible person

It brings me to tears. 

I've never known what they look like…

But I know what they feel like

I have this daydream 

This vision that returns to me.

I can feel their arms snake around me from behind

Their head resting on my shoulder

Wrapped together

And we inhale as one

Lost in the pure joy of it

The quiet, filling, bursting contentment

Because how could either of us have asked for a more perfect moment in time.

A breath

Together

The warmth of being held

That deep soul feeling of being loved

And loving in return

Equal

Reciprocated

Steady

Someday I will look into this invisible persons eyes

And we will breathe face to face.

But for now I will settle for the sweet feeling that settles in my chest

When I allow myself to daydream

To believe in a love like this.

I’ll see you soon.
