Affectionately Yours

 

However different our thoughts,
interests, or daytime worlds,
when we lie down together at night
your hand reaches for mine.

And the first thing I know  each morning
 is your face pressed to a breast,
my leg sandwiched between yours,
our fingers intertwined.

Comfortable with self, with you,
with being needed by you,
I am affectionately yours
and you are mine.
