The Sum of Us
I miss you when you’re gone
Though I know it won’t be long
Until you’re here again, near again
Face to face, skin to skin
Your charms in my arms
The addition of you unto me
Bringing satisfaction
That lasts for days past
The eventual subtraction
Attraction to the scent of you
As of fresh vegetables blended
And warm snuggly puppies
My skin warm and flushing
As soon as you touch me
Blushing, kissing, caressing
Just being near you is
One of life’s best things
This isn’t so much me now
As it is the sum of us
This we I am when I am with you
And we begin our dance anew
