I want you close; not just inside of me.

I want our ribs caged, lungs with one breath,

Hearts pumping into the same life force.

It’s not enough to just touch you; 

I need melding and fusion.

So entwined- one ends the other begins. 

It’s cliché, but that’s how familiar

I want to be with you- 

Almost boring, mundane.

But it’s a life spent with you I would cherish. 

Close, inside, and one.
