Baby

2,015.3 miles.

that's how far away I am from you.

30 hours.

thats how long it could take

for me to reach you,

travelling cross country in my car,

with absolutely no breaks.

6 states.

that’s how many different sights

are standing in our way.

all these obstacles prevent me from visiting you,

but I’m determined to pull through.

we planned to meet up halfway,

rent a hotel room in Oklahoma,

watch movies and chill for a few nights,

but baby, I think we both know

we’ve got bigger plans.

i can see us checking in together,

hand in hand we look at each other,

smiles on our faces.

excitement uncontained

as we get settled in.

you told me it would take you

10 minutes to want to make love with me.

so, baby, its been seven, have you started feeling it yet?

I’m getting excited, I can barely keep it in.

as you unpack your things, I come from behind

and wrap my arms around your sturdy frame.

you turn around and hold me, baby, please don’t let me go.

being in your arms tonight, there’s nothing I want more.

Resting my head on your shoulder, I look up at you,

baby, can’t you see it in my eyes.

I want to feel you, to explore every inch of you,

You look down at me, I gaze into your soft brown eyes,

“What?” You ask me, but I can see the smile in your eyes.

“Nothing” I respond, but you know better than that.

Hours pass and we lay together, cuddling on our bed.

I’m resting my head on you chest, snuggled close to you;

Your arm wraps around my shoulder,

resting under my ribs.

I look up at you, you down at me.

Sitting up, I turn to face you;

“What?” You ask me, but don’t think I don’t notice

The slight smile dancing across your lips.

“I love you” I whisper as I kiss you long and hard.

Your hands on my side gives me a feeling I won’t forget,

I kiss you one more time, to make sure I have you here.

You kiss me back, holy shit does it feel good.

“Do you-” you start to say, interrupted by another kiss.

“Yes” I whisper, into your ear,

Feeling your body relax.

I feel your hands holding me,

Feeling me, exploring me.

I know you feel it too.

Kisses caress my neck as you lift up my shirt.

I am scared for a second, scars I have on display,

But none of that seems to matter to you right now,

You are already lifting up yours.

Ecstasy,

Like the drug I can feel your love

Coursing through my veins.

I’m floating higher and higher,

Baby, don’t ever let me go.

Kisses on my shoulders, on your neck,

Your hands explore my hips, my ribs, my side.

My hands feel you, your sturdy frame,

I feel your lips caressing me, baby, please don’t let this end.

Right here, right now, I am yours and yours alone. 

Nothing else matters to me except the way that you feel.

Minutes pass and we are done,

Our little flame sizzling out,

I am still in your arms for a few

before you get up.

You give me a look,

a crooked half-smile as you tell me that was good.

I blush, looking away,

I can’t even meet your eyes.

I give you a shy smile, but baby, you can see right through me.

You walk up to me,

a gentle hand guides me chin,

pointing my gaze at you.

“Don’t be like that,” you whisper,

while your thumb caresses my right eyebrow.

“it was good and you know it,

there’s no need to be shy.”

You tap my nose and kiss my lips,

I put my hands on your face,

pulling you closer.

i wrap my arms around your neck,

yours find their place around my hips.

baby, please don’t go.

but you can’t read my mind,

as you kiss me again,

releasing your comforting hug,

heading off to shower,

leaving me alone.

A couple hours later finds us back in bed again.

You’re resting your head on me this time.

You murmur something softly as I run my fingers through your curly brown hair,

I feel you snuggle closer into me, a comforting presence.

Watching movies together, playing with your hair, cuddling you,

I feel you start to relax, I know your on your way,

sleepiness washes over you, your breathing slows to a steady rhythm.

“Goodnight my dear,” I say, still playing with your hair.

A kiss on your head marks my farewell,

as you slowly drift away,

fading deeper and deeper into dreamland.

Morning comes, our room is filled with the early rays of light.

I, the early bird, rise with the sun, with you in my arms.

I get up quietly, slowly

as I don’t want to disturb you, sleeping so peacefully.

I accidentally bump you as I climb out of bed.

Slightly dazed, you start to sit up, your hair a ruffled mess,

you stretch and groan softly,

my heart skips a beat.

“What time is it?” You ask softly, a question I almost miss.

“It’s around six thirty” I say, scooting closer to you.

You shake your head and grumble softly, “’iss too early”

I smile slightly, lean forward and kiss your forehead.

“I know, baby, I’m sorry to wake you up.

You can go back to sleep, I just need to stretch my legs.”

You nod sleepily, teasing me softly,

“might need to do better than that

to show your sorry for waking me up.”

all while giving me a smirk.

I lean forward, hand on the side of your face,

giving you a kiss full of passion and love.

“Mmm, not what I was expecting” you say dreamily, I know you’re fighting sleep.

“Shhh, go back to sleep,” I say, tracing my thumb along your cheekbone.

Eyes closed, soft murmurs, settling deeper into bed,

I know I’ve won you over,

baby, you are mine, and I am yours.

i have a feeling

none of that will change

when we leave here and go our separate ways.

but right now is all that matters,

so let’s savor the tender moments

and we’ll deal with the rest later.
