The Essence of You (POEM)

I breathe in your essence and feel it travel through my body,
Giving me energy and life.
The breath between your lips escapes into mine right before you gently caress my mouth with yours.
I breathe you in, over and over,
Never quite getting enough.

This breath, between us could be miles or simply millimeters.
It doesn’t matter.
I want it to last forever.
I want to feel you up against me forever.
I need to breathe you.

Don’t quite touch me, your essence is enough.
Make me want you more.
As if that’s even possible.
Breathe me into you.

I move my hair and I can still smell you now.
I can’t wash my sheets, it would wash away the essence of you;
Of us.
I can still feel you,
The essence of you,
As it travels through my body.
Lingering in small places, waiting for me to move and open you up again.

The almost of it, is almost too much to bear.
The essence of you is all that I still have,
But it’s enough.
