Together
I am filled with sweet anticipation
of my lovers embrace.
Oh to feel your arms around me
as I hold you close at our greeting.
Each time I see you again it feels like an eternity has separated us and we are together once more.
I long to kiss you my love
and whisper in your ear
Telling you my heart
as I hold you near.
I want you deeply when you are not with me
And even more when you are.
Hold me close dear lover,
hug me strong.
Feel my heartbeat and hear me breath.
Let our closeness overtake us
For we are meant to be together
we are meant to be one.
An ode to the intensity of reunion and the desire for closeness. Each meeting feels like eternity has passed, making the embrace all the sweeter. Scott longs to whisper his heart while holding his beloved near, expressing that desire grows whether together or apart, and affirming their destined union as one.
Every time I see Priya again, it feels like an eternity has passed—even if it's only been a day or two. That intensity of reunion, that sweet anticipation of her embrace, inspired this poem. I want to whisper my heart to her, hold her close, feel her heartbeat. The paradox is that I want her deeply when we're apart, but I want her even more when we're together. We're meant to be one, and this poem celebrates that certainty.
