your presence alone
brings a warmth and comfort
i wish i could become more familiar with.
what does it mean to yearn?
to yearn is to long...
let me tell you of the ways i desire.
for what is—
the smell of your coffee being brewed,
the tickles of your hair
across my face
as we lay in the early hours
of a quiet morning...
the blush that colors across your cheeks,
and before the sun has even had a chance
to slip through the window
and touch your skin—
in the way that i would...
because even it knows
that privilege.
for you,
i long to know.
