To My Senses

They ask me how I feel when I am with you and yet I struggle to find the words to describe our love.
It is undeniable what love can do to anyone. How it can make us feel.
But when I am with you, all my senses tingle.

When I see you it gets so hard to turn away. I am mesmerized in your eyes and your smile. How your eyes crinkle when you smile too hard and how your deep dimples complete your smile. When you look at me, I feel your love radiate through you. When I cry, you look at me and that's how I know how much you care. Your eyes glisten and I feel your emotion speak through them. They are soft, they are brown, they are you.

When I hear you, I feel your soul speak to and through me. Your voice is soft and sweet. Your laugh is kind and uplifting. I look forward to nothing other than to hear your voice at the end of the day. I look forward to hearing you tell me about what you did, what your plans are... I look forward to hearing you tell me you love me. You speak knowledge and wisdom. You speak of your interests and your fears and I listen. I never want to miss out on getting to know you more and more. Your voice is gentle, your voice is you.

When I taste you, I taste the fire in you. It is a calm fire but you set every part of me in flames. Your lips send chills throughout my skin and your kisses make me weak. They have melted inside of me. Your kisses remind me of my favorite fruit--sweet. You kiss me passionately and within those kisses is a form of "I love you" that is almost like a secret. When we meet your kisses replace a "hello" and when we depart, your kisses say, "I'll see you soon". Our lips were meant for one another, your taste is you.

When I smell you, a movie scene forms in my mind. I feel your presence around me through your smell. For you may live miles away, hugging your flannel at night feels like hugging your body. Your smell reminds me of home. For you have become my shelter, the distance is pulled near through your scent. If I were to stop breathing one day, I would want my last smell to be of you. The one thing in this Earth that I love so much. Your smell is you.

When I feel you... When I feel you I feel safe. I feel guarded and I feel wanted. I have waited for a love to move me in a way yours has. Your touch is electrifying and powerful. When I feel your skin pressed against mine, all my troubles seem to diminish even for a short while. When I feel your touch, there is a continuous longing for more. When I feel you wrapped around me I feel complete. Your touch is you.

I have never longed for someone the way I have longed for you, my love. We were made for each other and I know we both feel the same. My love for you is courageous and true. Never have I wanted something to work out so badly. Through the ups and downs, there is no one else in this world I want to overcome obstacles with other than you. There is no one else in this world who can peak my senses the way you have. We are meant to be together. We are meant to genuinely and wholeheartedly love and I am so glad to express my love to none other but you. I never knew a love like ours before you. It is new and different. It is something I know I never want to one day have to live without.

I love you more than you will ever know.
