An Embrace To Remember

Author: Jenna Shellhammer

Im breathing in and out slowly
Trying to match the rhythm of your heartbeat
Feeling as if I can hear your soul talking
If I listen hard enough

I close my eyes
Submersing myself in this moment
And close off the rest of the world
Just to hear your peaceful breathing

Your fingertips touch and smooth my skin
As they run along my back tenderly
Your fingertips give me sweet chills on my arms
As they kiss the surface of my skin

We left the radio on
But it is drowned out by our beautiful silence
You hold me closer and closer
To see if my soul is talking back

I slowly open my sparkling eyes
And pray that Im not just dreaming
But then I see your bright, blue eyes staring back
And I cant help but fall in love all over again

You touch my face and smile
While I sink deeper into your arms
You bring your lips close
And gently kiss me with passion

I am frozen for the moment
And continue to melt with the love you consume me with
Every instant seems like forever
And every embrace is one to remember
