I Wonder
Gently, he lies behind me,
and I wonder if he feels
the soft tremble of my body,
or the aching pound of my heart.
He slips his arm around me,
wrapping me like the dark comfort
of the night.
His body is warm like love.
He is so close,
I can feel him in my skin.
His soft breath slides across
my neck, and a smile crawls
across my lips.
I can feel my heart sink back
toward him, just to be closer.
And I wondered how those women
could hurt this man;
why they would ever want another,
when he gave himself and his love...
so freely, so fully,
and with all his heart?
How could they lay next to him,
the way he lays next to me now
and not want to be this way forever.
I can only wish upon stars
and dream about what it would be like,
to be loved by such a man.
And I wonder why their reality
wasn't enough, when a dream is more
than I could hope for.
And I wonder if there will ever be
a woman whom he loves...
as much as I love him.
