Verily, I yearn not solely for mere discourse and the melody of your voice, for it doth not suffice the depths of my longing.

I long to behold thee, to peer into your eyes and therein rediscover the enchantment that first captivated my heart.

I want to clasp your hand within mine, to dance upon the expanse of your palms with my stubble hands, to feel the tender caress of your warm and gentle touch upon my weathered skin.

Let me be near thee, to bask in the radiance of your presence, to feel the very hairs upon my hand stand at attention by your slightest graze.

No, your voice is not enough. Even though it reminds me of the softness of the ocean breeze in the evenings, but I want more than that, I want to swim in that ocean and be lost forever in its billows.

I want you; I want to hold you and embrace you and hold your hair under the sunset in your beautiful dress and stay in your arms for the rest of my life.

I want to swing you under the rain, till your eyes are swirly and you stagger upon my chest and hear how hard my heart beats for you.

Truly, what is life’s meaning without your ocean eyes and warm presence; I can’t live like this forever my beloved.

I want you; I need you; I love you!
