No Romance Required
Just a glance and I’m at a loss for words. And it’s all I need to survive the day, Just the memory of your smile, Just the whisper of your voice Echoing through my soul. It’s all I could ever dream to see At the dawn of every waking day. But such a large request for such a youth as I Summoning disapproving glances, And odd half-hearted comments. For such a simple desire, That requires nothing of the night, But the sound of your sleeping breath, And your body warmth… Beside my tingling skin. Nothing else, but love, No romance required. And I would lie in your arms until the end. Just to be there. Just to know the power of real love. Not the lusty byproduct of empty souls, Nor the aching void it leaves behind. Just complete warmth Surging through my whole being. And if all mornings could be so, Then not a bad day could pass. And I could live a virgin forever. With love in my soul, And my heart in your hands, And I could be content. For death wouldn’t matter, If there is love that lasts beyond. And we could live forever. Just your soul and mine.
