My Darling
By Julie Ellinger Hunt

As you sleep beside me
I want to crawl inside you
Explore your heart up close
Examine your amazing brain
Be inside your soft, silky skin
My darling, you fascinate me
with your simplicity
The simple act of love and loyalty you show,
The simple sound of your laughter that can light up my soul.
Your simple yet meaningful kisses.
The simple beauty that is you.
My darling. I simply love you.
You are simply amazing.
And I am all yours.
