It is not always necessary 
To be in the presence 
Of the one that makes your heart beat faster 
The one that ignites your passions 
Defines your needs 
Whose touch remains 
Long after his body has departed

It is nice to know that he simply exists 
Is somewhere 
That in a limitless world 
Your One has come forward 
And places himself in your path 
Meets your eyes 
Does not blink 
Realizing 
You are his story

He may be standing in someone else’s kitchen 
Overheated 
Touching the succulent flesh 
Of fresh fruit 
Or slicing warm bread 
For sustenance 
Unable to think 
Of anything else 
But returning
To you
