I Crave You

I crave you—

not in a sexual way,

but in the quiet, tender way

a heart longs for its home.

 

I want to feel your presence

like sunlight in the morning,

soft, steady, always there.

 

I want you around—

to hear your voice,

to watch your smile form slowly,

to find comfort in your silence.

 

I want to hold you close,

not to claim you,

but to feel the warmth of belonging.

 

It\'s not desire of the body,

but longing of the soul.

I crave you—

in every way that feels like peace.
