When I First See You Again

From the moment I see the first glimpse 
of your blue eyes across the room
I begin to feel your finger tips 
tracing fire on my soul.

Your lips meet mine 
in a soft and lingering kiss
flooding me with a warmth
that spreads trough the depths of my being,

and your arms pull me close
to feel the beating of your heart,
long before you’ve even begun
to close the distance between us.

The air around us becomes alive,
magnetized, as our eyes converse,
drawing us toward each other
as memories mix with anticipation,

And in those few split seconds
between first sight and first touch,
I have already experienced the magic
that will begin again with the touch of your hand.
