Pull me towards you;
whisper my name.
With your arms stretched out
signal that you want me near you.
With your eyes
speak to me.
Touch me all over;
I long for you.
Breathe your love;
breath your tenderness
and serenity into my soul.
I have no desire to compete with you.
I do not wish to test your love.
I will not question whether you love me more.
There is no need to wonder,
because I know us.
You make loving you
as easy and natural
as breathing.
As magnet pulls magnet,
so your lips pull mine.
I see your eyes desiring me;
I feel your gentle warmth on my body.
Your touch
– oh your touch,
so tender;
so loving and so kind.
I want to be with you rain or shine,
day or night,
good times or bad.
I want to be with you
– keep me!
In your arms,
I am in peace.
In your arms,
I am home.
In your arms,
are all my future years.
In your arms…
is where I belong.
