Analysis of Holding Her
Holding her close
I could read her version
and her telltale eyes
Holding her close
I could observe her verve
and her intense aims
Holding her close
I could appraise her skin
and her luscious lips
Holding her close
I could sample her guile
and her secret charms
Holding her close
I could snatch her quiver
and her subtle moves
Holding her close
I could sniff her bouquet
and her female scents
Holding her close
I could feel her heartbeat
and her zaftig breasts
