Have You?

 

Have You?

 

Have you ever told anyone out loud that you wanted to be kissed?

Have you ever wanted to climb so deeply inside of someone else that you couldn't discern the separate sound of your own heart beat?

Have you said those words aloud,

in the silent stillness of a familiar room,

knowing that you would never want to take those words back?

Have you heard the sound of their laughter,

a talisman that you tuck within your soul,

placing that warmth into the pulsing beat of your own hand

in the midst of winter?

I have...

have you?
