My Lifeline, My Love

Fumbling with words to seal a promise
I cradle your face and run my fingers through your hair.
Thirsty, my eyes search for an answer
as I plunge in the deep blue of yours.
No way can I live with me
unless your scent rides my breath
and floods my heart
with sighs fueling my beats.
My days need your scent,
my dreams your color,
for you’re my sunshine
and you’re my moon.
I give myself to you
hoping I’d have you in return
as close to me as a flower to its fragrance
in each moment until I breathe.
