I need you

I've got your gentle voice in my head
I am finely tuned to you still
all my senses hungry - insatiable
starving for your loving words
more of your gentle laughter
smiles that resonate inside and out
zinging hot sensations through my viens
like a vampire I want to devour you
suck your goodness into my depths
replenish my soul with your essence
