My Ways to Feel

A glance,
A touch,
A greeting

To breathe in the same sights,
Experience the same sensations,
To be next to you
without saying a word –

It’s exactly where I want to be.

Expecting,
Wanting,
Dreaming

Constantly thinking
about what to do next,
Shaping our futures, together
or on my own;
Wanting to use the same blanket
so that no space remains –

It’s exactly what I want to do.

Guessing,
Surprising,
Delighting

Hoping you will like
what I planned –
Do you welcome
what you see?
Let’s go and get
what we don’t need –

It’s exactly what I want to hear.

Our routine,
Our rituals,
Our memories

Whether it’s planning them
or thinking about them,
Making ambitious plans,
Dreaming for us
And the days to follow –

It’s exactly what I want to create.

A shared look,
A shared thought,
A shared silence

Knowing what to get
before the words arrive,
How to act
when unsure,
Or to do what’s best –

It’s exactly what I want to protect.

Cherished,
Wanted,
Treasured

Accepting all flaws,
Bearing the pain
to spark that smile,
The twinkle in the eyes,
glistening from our shared emotions –

It’s exactly what I want to feel.
