Senses Surround Me As You Sleep

Familiar is this scent of you,
Forever you have had it and forever I have known it.
Every hair on your body I lay here watching,
Counting even the ones which are turning gray.
Your lips I trace with fingertips
as a smile begins to form on your face.
I know every sensitive spot on them
and watch as they begin to twitch.
I lay and watch your eyes flutter.
Do they dream of me?
I listen as you breathe,
the steady rhythm lulls me.
A comforting feeling I long to never be without.
I long for a taste, to kiss your skin,
which has been salted by the sweat in your tired slumber.
But do I dare disturb you?
I watch in amazement at how blessed I am.
As you sleep.
