silhouettes

i lied there in the dark
visualized the shape of your body and paralleled yours with mine
i closed my eyes
i saw my fingertips slowly trace your eyebrows, your jawline, 
the linings of your neck, and the delicate stretch of skin along your collarbones

the rest of your body was a challenge
i could guess the outline of your breasts
and the form of your hips and legs
but my imagination does not succeed reality
i'll let that go to possibilities and good hope

i'm resting my head against your skin
feelings the valleys of your body
not wanting to let that part go
it's all such a pretty sight
you're allowing me to roam and outline 
the creases and outlines of your make

i don't want to delay
i don't want to lose you
cause i'm left alone in the dark with temporary tracings
nowhere close to resemblances of your real thing
