For You

I dreamt of you

Long before we met

My past relationships,

I thought I'd found you

The one from my dreams

But they were not true

They were not you

And you are Her

I recognize your scent

My nose connects the memories

The dreams and the reality

The smell of peace and home

I remember the way Her hands

Felt on my skin

My heart beats faster

Each time you reach out

Is it my eagerness

Or your own fear that stops you?

I look at you, longing but fearful

I want so many things

To run my fingers through your hair

To feel the silkiness of your skin

I know what I'll find

But I'm afraid to try

If only you'd realize

I'm truly for You
