The microscopic things
I notice in the mornings
when you’re in my arms
The smell of your skin
fresh from your shower
The way your hand feels
as it touches my face
Fingers lingering
along my cheek
The taste of your kiss
Mint toothpaste
Slightly insistent
Like you can’t bear
the thought
of letting go
even for a moment
The feel of your breath
gently brushing my lips
as we break contact
With a sigh so quiet
and still
Oh my love
I want to say
Please stay.
