It used to be that I was always shivering
my pale skin not keeping the cold out of my bones
but
my entire body heats up
whenever you touch me
and I really like
that my temperature always seems to be rising
when you're around

You hardly ever say
I love you
instead of
I love you too
Graced Lightning Mar 2014
You slowly sink into my arms
and we are finally comfortable.
I absentmindedly play with your hair
and run my finger along the edge of your ear.
I kiss your forehead, and you kiss my lips.
You hold my hands and
our tongues get to know each other
more forcefully than ever before.
You start to play with my hair
and you pull me towards you
so that our lips meet again.
And then we are alone.
We struggle to be comfortable,
but then
I lie down on the couch
with my head on the armrest
and you slowly let yourself
lie on top of me.
You kiss me sweetly
and I tug on the hem of my shirt
to let your hands in.
They slide up my back
and I pull away.
you can do whatever you want
I whisper
are you sure?
yes
and so you take your hands
and let them wander to the other side.
You take your time,
but eventually you get there.
You hesitate
but I haven't changed my mind.
I can't focus on what your hands are doing
because I feel like I'm going to explode
I am a puppet.
I arch my back,
invisible strings pulling my hips to meet yours.
feedback? I don't know how to end this

You hesitantly sit on the edge of your bed
and slowly lean back
as I fall on top of you
and we are kissing again.
You taste warm, like coffee
on a cold monday morning.
I bring my leg up
so that we're intertwined.
I pull away and bury my face into your shoulder.
You bring your hand up and gently caress my face
I wish it didn't have to end.

But it doesn't.

You tell me to lean up against the wall
and I lift the hem of my shirt for you
your hands slide right in
and their warmth on my back
is exactly what I need.

If he thinks I am
beautiful he doesn't tell
me very often

short, secret kisses
smelling of mint and coffee
blush and turn away
