All I Need
All I Need
by Melia Candelaria
Your lips, your eyes
the way you smile at me when we brush fingertips
in the store as we stroll through the aisles
as though there is some secret that only I can understand.
The way your hair falls over your eyes
in the shower when you're sopping wet
splashing me playfully, making me swat at you
laughing and kissing as we always do.
Your goofy humor that always matches mine
brightening my day on the worst of them
making me giggle in spite of myself
and inspiring endless, electric kisses that are just like the first time.
To be without these things that make up
our love
would be impossible, unimaginable
a slow death of the soul, slowed only by the possibility of seeing you.
No comfort or pleasure of this earth can sustain me
piece my heart back together
and let me be my true self
like you do.
You are the only partner I want
the only touch I desire
the only heart that beats with mine.
You are all that I need.
