Apprehension

 
I want every breath
threaded with your scent

every swallow
tainted with your taste

every thought
echoing with your voice

every movement
warm with the memory of your touch



I want to lose myself
peaceful
in your presence



I've never had the chance
to inhale you

never been able
to taste you

your voice
is seldom heard and distant

I've never known
the warmth of your touch



I want to reassure myself
hopeful
but I'm afraid
