Brief Intoxication

My heart is beating quickly
My cheeks are red with heat
My mind begins to wander
As our lips begin to meet

Your hand is warm and gentle
As it grazes down my cheek
You breathe the life right from me
And you leave me feeling weak

I think of all and nothing
Of the silence and the night
Of your breathing and your softness
Of the candle and its light

We come apart so slowly
I gaze into hazy eyes
I hold you close and tightly
And enjoy my butterflies

Our reunion is hypnotic
We kiss soft and lovingly
And I feel us mesh together
I am you, and you are me

And we stay like this for hours
With no worry and no doubt
By the time that we stop kissing
The candle has burned out
