In my own skin

Every one of my body-cells scream her name,
every inch of my skin feels her presence.

Who would have thought I’d be where I am today?
who would have thought things would be so different…

I have surrendered to you without even putting up a fight
I have given you me without feeling like I’ve lost myself

Even if our story turns,
even if our paths part into different directions

I know...

I know I will stand in front of her

My eyes will meet hers,
my fingers will touch the depths of her soul,
my lips will explore her skin and count every freckle,
like a satellite explores a constellation of stars..

When I’m with her the world stops and there is only us,
when I’m with her heart skips beats like a child on a prairie…

She makes me feel safe,
safe in my own skin…

Very lovely piece.

This is so beautiful. It's raw and so true and I feel completely connected to how you feel. I love the line,"I have surrendered to you without even putting up a fight." I have felt exactly the same way- effortlessly beautiful. To me it seems like at times, you're talking to her and others you're talking to yourself. I like that!

This is beautiful. It made me smile, to think that someone can still feel this way about another person. Lovely job, gorgeous. x

There are places where the language differences come through, but an overall good work.
