Jennifer Marie Brissett
Intimacy
Come next to me and purr
Sense my need for affection
Understand me with no need for words
See me vulnerable
Curl yourself into my arms and rest
your head along the crevice of my neck
Make everything better
with a single soft touch
Be that friend
The one who loves without judgment
Sleep calmly on my breast
A heartbeat next to mine
