your skin&lt;br /&gt;It is a scent I want to wear everyday knowing that you are a part of me&lt;br /&gt;I want to feel it as warmly as I do your smile&lt;br /&gt;A part of my breath, one with my consciousness&lt;br /&gt;The intoxicating scent of you calls me inside of your love again&lt;br /&gt;I will make love to you as many times as my body will allow&lt;br /&gt;When it fails me, I will use everything in my possession&lt;br /&gt;To make sure there is nothing you are left wanting&lt;br /&gt;Pleasing you brings me pleasure and it means more to me than my own&lt;br /&gt;Only when I know you are completely satisfied&lt;br /&gt;Is the only time I can take true satisfaction in making love&lt;br /&gt;As we laid in bed, I breathed you in and held my breath&lt;br /&gt;I want our passion to be captured forever and become a part of me&lt;br /&gt;Every breathe I exhale is in reverence to us making love&lt;br /&gt;The scent of you breathes in my every pore&lt;br /&gt;The taste of your warm passion is still wet on my lips&lt;br /&gt;When I touch my skin your kisses I feel&lt;br /&gt;It makes me hard all over again&lt;br /&gt;I cannot wait until I get home this evening&lt;br /&gt;To undress you and smile at the sight of you naked&lt;br /&gt;I know all your body’s secrets and the things that give it pleasure&lt;br /&gt;I know just where to touch and watch your nipples rise to greet my tongue&lt;br /&gt;Even the heat permeating from your body has its own wonderful scent&lt;br /&gt;It is a mixture that is at once seductively intoxicating&lt;br /&gt;Sometimes I wonder how is it possible to have lived without you in my life&lt;br /&gt;You were always out there bringing beauty to the world and now you are mine&lt;br /&gt;Every time we make love the intoxicating scents of our lovemaking&lt;br /&gt;Lives in the walls, the sheets, our skin and in the air that we breathe&lt;br /&gt;Taking a shower feels like a sin as if we are washing away the love we made&lt;br /&gt;The way we make love cannot be washed away with the warmth of water&lt;br /&gt;The love we make sustains our soul and the beautiful aroma of our lovemaking&lt;br /&gt;Will forever live in our memory long after we are no longer physically capable&lt;br /&gt;But in our minds, we can make love to each other for the rest of our lives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br
