Wish You Were Here
Ah, the sand, the sun, and the sea
Oh yeah, this feels so good
It's exactly what I've needed
Time to myself, time to get away
From the phone and anyone else
Who needs something from me
Time to just relax
And be alone with my thoughts
My thoughts of you
As I lie here quietly and feel
The warmth penetrating my body
The healing rays of the sun
Have surely helped to mend
This broken heart of mine
Just a few months ago
I would've never believed
That I'd be ready and willing
To risk my heart again
Yet here I am, unable to think of
Anything else but you
Then I feel a slight breeze
Blow over my skin
And my body reacts as though
It's felt a physical touch
My back aches and my nipples
Immediately harden
Making me wish you were here

Author's Notes
This was actually the very first poem I ever wrote for Kodi. I recently found it on my computer at work on my personal drive. In preparing to update my site (for the first time in three years), I was searching the hard drive for any poems I might have saved there. I'd completely forgotten all about writing it. But as I read it, I instantly recalled the moment. I loved the poem, and the moment, and I knew I wanted to add it to the site.
It was written the week before Thoughts of You, which was the first poem I posted as being written for Kodi, though it's really the second one. I just hadn't ever sent this one to her. It was written before we'd admitted to each other that we had already been thinking about the other "in that way."
I wasn't really at the beach when I wrote this poem either. I was over at a friend's house using her tanning bed. I wanted to get a bit of a tan before going to the beach for my birthday, which was in a couple of weeks. But being alone in her spare bedroom, with the radio and the fans going from the tanning bed, it was easy to just let my mind wander and pretend I was already there.
