I can hear
your heart
beating.
I feel
the air
you are
breathing.

I close
my eyes
and
I see
that you
are close to
me,

and
I can tell,
as well,
with just
the slightest hint
of a touch,
just how much
you need
to be
with me.

I close
my eyes
and
you are
here
and
as we
hold
each other
near,
I realize
the answer's
clear,

beyond
the shadow of
a doubt
I know
what love is
all about,

for
the first time.
