TOGETHER

Togetherness is the glue

That binds me to you

The very special spice

That makes being with you so nice.

It is like a velvet rope

It encircles us with its soft touch

And provides the gentle binding

That makes me love you so much.

It is sometime mistaken

For shackles that hamper

When in fact it permits us

To caress, cajole and pamper.

It is the boundless joy

From some unknown source

The delight of a surprise

When least expected of course.

It is the intimacy of a moment

Shared only with you

The pure and simple pleasure

Of a memory of you.
