First Kiss First Touch

Can you feel it my love
The energy rising between us
Our hearts in proximity
We are so close but not yet
Let us linger here inches away
Our lips poised in anticipation
So close to our first kiss
Wanting to bridge this gap
Connect and surrender but not yet
Instead look deep into my eyes
Feel the aching pain of distance
The closer we get the stronger the pain
It would be so easy to touch
The wait would end and we would be
But at this moment we are you and I
Two not yet one but soon to be
I just want to forever remember
This joyous pain of closeness
Before I knew your kisses
Before I felt your touch
