Simply . . .

I’m simply staring at you right now.
Your face I’m studying
The curve of your brow.

I’m simply watching you work the keys,
Writing out stories
Naughty fantasies.

I’m simply touching your soft hair.
Gently stroking
With tender care.

I’m simply breathing the air that you breathe.
Locking it in
For tonight’s dream.

I’m simply holding your hand while we walk.
Feeling your strength.
Letting you talk.

I’m simply stealing a moment in time.
When I can pretend
You’re only mine.
