Your Name

I say your name in my mind
like it is a secret.
Tasting it slowly,
feeling its curves inside my mouth.

I want to ask you
if you like it
as much as I do.

I want to know if you hear
the desire
behind each letter
as I spell it out loud.

I will hold onto your name,
for many years to come.

Its syllables
forever encapsulated
in my ear drums.
