I held you

I held you, tight to chest
I could feel your heartbeat
Deeply inside my breast
Our breath like teardrops sigh
Lingering, softly kissed
Unspoken lullaby
Your calloused hands were splayed
Entwined across my hip
Rising to meet your haste
United we become
Blended souls in yearning
Imperfect halves now one
Wonderment and glory
Most precious is this gift
Simple our love story
