Forever

I laid over you with my face resting against your belly
my fingers etched messages into your ribs that
I knew no one would see but me.
I left marks that seemed to say,
I love you.

I tasted your breasts and traced three words
over them with my tongue, words I knew
you would understand if only you could see,
I need you.

Our eyes met just before I kissed you
and they said a thousand words my fingers
and lips could never leave upon your skin,
This belly is mine and

I am forever yours.
