“The Message She Cannot Send”

She misses him, but fear holds her fingers still;
She is afraid that one simple message could end in silence,
or worse, rejection.

She misses his soft touch,
the electric spark of his kisses,
his hand gently moves through her body
yet she trembles at the thought
that feeling them again would set her heart on fire
in ways she isn’t sure she could survive.

She wants him back;
her heart reaches for him,
calling his name in the quiet moments,
but her mind is a maze
of doubts
and shadows.

Still, she desires him.
She wants to see him,
to feel his presence close to hers,
to spend time with him
and remember what it was like
when love felt simple,
and safe,
and theirs.
