I've got daydreams
of you pushing our lips together
and I realize I am a late bloomer-
I have gone so long without
the realization that
I can feel comfortable
being wanted, that
I can crave people touching
me gently
and while I know it will be hard
not to flinch,
I am at long last
allowing myself to feel
desirable and
to desire in return
you may never use this power but
in thanks for the clarity you
have returned to me,
I give you the permission
to touch the art.
To lay your hands in the arch
of my spine,
rest your head on my shoulder,
and fall asleep next to my steady heartbeat.
This is not something I
have ever given, and
it is new to me
but you are beautiful in such a way
that it makes me feel pretty
just sitting next to you.
