Unrecognized Dreams


I want
...to fall in love with you again
...to enjoy the feel of your arms around me
...to absorb the warmth of your touch on my skin.

I close my eyes and wish I could melt into your kiss.
I long for my knees to go weak as passion for you floods my veins.
I want nothing more than to want you once more.

My heart cries out to need you near me.
My toes wish to curl with the feel of your lips.
My lungs wish to constrict with your soft caress.
My mouth wishes to moan your name from something other than mere habit.
My desire runs so deep into my soul that it tears at my heart,
When they don't become reality.

These recent desires go unnoticed by you
And your love is still strong as the oak we planted years ago
When our love was new.
There's nothing I want more than to go back in time
And hold those feelings tighter to me
In hopes they will not fade away.

I roll over and place my arm around you as you sleep
And the sigh that my soul releases is troubled,
As my heart breaks from unrecognized dreams.
