It is the tender touch


It is the tender touch that awakens and relaxes every cell in your body

It is the soft gaze that brings you back to earth when the world seems too overwhelming

It is the heart that knows trust and truth

Every sweet word that melts on your lips like honey

Every embrace that breaths life into your weary lungs

Every kiss that dries the tears of long nights

Because you never knew what love was

You never experienced the sensation of someone else desiring you

Your presence

Your affection

You never knew peace in the madness

This safety

This comfort 

This home

You have finally found love

Love is home
