I TRACED YOU

i traced you a million times, in my mind
just to make sure, i've got you right
i started with your legs, your feet,
positioning you next to me
traced your hands, against my face
traced our fingers, embraced
and your chest, on which i would rest,
my pretty little head on,
while feeling your heart beat,
in sync with mine.
your neck, your jawline
upon which i kiss, when we're having
our naughty little trysts
(something about you,
i could never resist)
oh and your mouth watering lips,
and nuzzling nose!
that always seems to fit,
side by side with mine
when our kisses collide
i trace all that perfectness,
from hair to chin,
hoping i won't miss a spot,
a freckle, a mole you've never shown.
i just want to know,
everything about you,
all that could ever be known.

five million times, in a million years
and i worry i might never get it right
but i know i'll always have the chance
to keep on trying, as long as you,
you'll always be, by my side.
