!

A simple mark
it is 
A quick stroke 
with a spot

Or a simple tap
your thumb grazed for
just short a second

No one really knows 
just how much
it means 
to me

A sign of excitement
passion
small but not slight
An expression I'll never miss

You know the worth
I give to the minuscule details
just seeing the mark
my cheeks glow with
a warmth only your
arms can give

Although I can't reach you
you know my words
are all I have
You hold a piece of me
my love overflowing
like the ink in this pen

You know how
much it means 
So you use it often
just a little detail
one that
reminds me

That our bodies
may be far
But our hearts 
are as close
as ever before
