This morning I saw your footprints in the snow.

The sight hit me with a force I was unprepared for.

My being cracked wide open exposing the raw of my heart to the cold.

I was overwhelmed with an intense visceral need for you.

The need to have you close. The need to feel you with me.

The need to hear my name fall from your lips in a whispered plea.

The need for you to crack my body wide open so it matches my heart and then leave yourself deep inside me.

I want to be in that place with you.

The place your barriers come down and you give yourself over to me.

I need you to roll around inside me. In my brain, my heart, and my flesh.

Bind your body with mine.

Then pull me close and stay.
