Getting to know you

I feel
your whole life
is in one breath.

I feel
your whole life
is in one look.

I feel
your whole life
is in one touch.

Breathe on me, so softly,
look at me
and touch me so tenderly.

I can get to know you
like never before.

Hello Stefanie,
I like your poem very much. The only thing I miss is an addition at the end, where you bring the first three stanzas together, about how the person should “look”. In the others (breathe and touch) you use an addition in the form of an adverb. Did you deliberately leave it out or did you just forget? In the same way that you describe breathing and touching, looking should also be something special, don't you think? After all, most things in life happen through our eyes.
