Sweet Embrace

I want to know what its like to feel your arms around me, and mine around you.
I want to feel your heartbeat next to me.
I want to feel the warmth of your body and have the knowledge that you are close
I want to be in your arms for hours and talk about nothing, and anything.
I would hold you close to me and never let you go, if given the chance.

There is power in an embrace,
Which I have forgotten.

And I want to know it again.
