If you have pride like I do, every smile and cant of hips breaks down the insecurity
bred from solitary confinement in the places where intimacy hasn’t been
In the bare moments when I should be thinking of other things I wish
your body were near mine so I can feel the heat that your
cells share with each other, with your membranous existence I wish for
your heartbeat to speed up in my proximity, sharing twin sensations in the greatest
symmetry I think there is, partnership under covers, over sheets
Standing horizontally, close nose to nose and bug-eyed, wonderment leeching out of
the pores we press together, I
want to see your smile light and catch fire, spark my sensations until I can’t help but
let you know what you’re accomplishing
so soon after we started our kind of meetings
But I don’t think it’s too late to make new eyes
And I’d like to know you so often, with such frequency
That my withdrawal distracts my other purposes
That you ruin me for all the other things
It'll pass, I know
But now, it's hard to conceive of any other way to be
Just waiting on the next time our eyes meet,
Just waiting for the time to pass
until we aren't two apart but two as one as more
