I wish you would hold me

The way you used to hold me

When the nights were young

And the sheets were freshly clean

When we were so naive

New like spring

I wish you would caress me

The way you used to caress me

When my cheek fit your palm

And your arm hugged my shoulders

When we were so in love

Deep like the sea

I wish you would kiss me

The way you used to kiss me

When you spot a cloud

And talked endlessly about kissing me under it

Whenever the rain soaks us

Desperate like the desert

I wish you would touch me

The way you used to touch me

When I would sneak out to see you

And spend hours tangled together in the sheets

When thick summer air clung to us

Vibing to sounds on the streets

I wish you would love me

The way you used to love me

When you couldn't draw your eyes away

And missed the best sunset the horizon could offer

When cool ocean air chilled our faces

As our breath blended in perfectly

With all of the smoke

Leaving our lungs
