I hear you approaching. I look up and see you, my soul hums. My skin sings in anticipation.

My heart beats.

My eyes lock with yours. They smile at me. So much runs through my mind. Questions. Memories of another time.

My heart beats.

The caress of your smile. The thrill of your dark desires. The groan in your throat. The stirrings provoked by thoughts of you. The joy of your voice, the beauty of your song.

My heart beats.

That wild night. Passion, darkness, souls melting.

My heart beats.

The tears. The doubts. The hurtful things said.

My heart beats.

The length of our journey. The wasted time in between. The hidden desires. The things unsaid. The fear of rejection. The pain of your absences, and the conflict of your returns. Leading us to this moment....

My heart beats.

We embrace. "I missed you" you say.
