Like wings of a hummingbird
My heart flutters feverishly
My passion burning like fire
I feel heat where my lungs would be
From deep down in my soul
To the ends of every strand of hair
I quiver with excitement
Of the feeling of you being there
I close my eyes
And take you in
I smell your smell
I feel your skin
My fingers tremble
My toes begin to curl
My breathing heavy’s
My thoughts start to whirl
I reach out my hand
To touch your sweet lips
The thought of you near me
Makes my heartbeat skip
My hand swoops through the air
Like a hawk on its prey
I reach for you and feel for you
But to my hands dismay
There’s nothing there but dust and air
To grab and pull my way
I hold my breath and loosen my grip
My heart goes cold and gray
I fill my lungs with empty air
That’s cold and stings like ice
My heartbeat slows and the rhythm dies
And tears fall once, then twice
The hours, days and weeks of time
Cannot erase our love
That longing for your touch and kiss
Recreate all that I know of
My mind plays tricks, my eyes see you
I get caught up in what seems
The memory that I have of you
Creates the fantasy in my dreams
Even though I hate to wake
And find you nowhere near
If dreams are all I have of you
I’ll dream to feel you here.
