Need Me

Need Me

My hands are like butterflies,
floating softly through the air.
I let them flutter
across your back, arms, chest.
Your eyes are deep blue pools,
entire oceans containing multitudes
or maybe giant sparkling sapphires,
gleaming faceted in the sunlight.
I long to hold you closer,
to discover your hidden secrets
and release your inner demons.
I want to taste your lips,
find out if you need me,
if you need me.
My eyes are deep and dark and mysterious,
I am unreadable,
I am ethereal.
You cannot catch me,
you cannot hold me,
I slither through your fingers
like fog through the branches of the trees.
But I will let you have me,
I will not leave your side,
if only you would tell me
you need me,
you need me.
