i think that
if i held your hand
yours would swallow mine
whole
and i think i’d like that

i think that
i could fit
perfectly
in the curve between your neck and shoulder

i think that
i could wake up with you
and watch the sun
play lightly on your face,
the only caresses other than my own
to warm your skin (it hurts so much to deny you this)

i think i’m sure i want you

i want my hair
knotted in your fingers
and i want my skin
to meld with yours
i want to feel your lips
leave a trail of heat
every place they
touch

i want my heart pounding
lungs gasping
muscles clenching
body sweating (but it hurts too much to give you this)
