When We Touch

We passed each other today
In the narrow hallway
of our tiny flat.
Your skin touched mine briefly
Just a moment of electricity
But I was where I had always
wanted to be.
With you.
Only with you.

Then as you hair flowed past me
I breathed the fragrance of you.
It is trapped indelibly inside me.
Now if fear uncertainty or doubt
enters my life
I recall it and all is well.
It fills my body I feel you keeping
me warm and safe as always.

In our bed my fingers seek your hair
and wonderful dreams
flow with the beauty
of our past days
and of those future days
we have yet to share  together.

So if you awaken finding
me touching your hair.
It is because I need a dream
One that only you
will ever be able
to bring to me.
