I want his all.
His deepest thoughts,
his smiles.
The way his eyes
glimmer in the dark.
His strength, his weakness.
I want his quiet and his loud.

I close my eyes as I listen
to the silent beats of his heart.
Tracing his mind,
diving into his
beautiful, complex soul.
I spy his demons
as I explore with my own.

A slow breath as I back away,
leaving a silent kiss.
Until he's ready,
I'll just rest in his embrace.
I place a thought in his head,
a silent whisper.
"I'll be here when you need me, Soldier."
