My mind has drawn a million scenes
Of long life we have never lived

Of moonlight on your naked form
As you walk across the bedroom floor
 
Your soft warm breath upon my neck
As we lie spooned upon the bed
 
Red dress hugging figure grand
While plunging back shows painted skin
 
Water drops on long, smooth legs
As we together wash the car
 
Ripe breast placed on baby's lips
As you recline in rocking chair
 
You lean into the minivan
Adjusting baby's traveling chair
 
My hand upon your waist in dance
Your warmth felt through silken cloth
 
My arms around your waist embrace
And nuzzle neck with words of love
 
Our hands enlaced in firm embrace
As we walk slowly through the trees
