It was midnight, and the rain
was falling heavily outside
of my home
on the dark grey streets.
The full-grown trees
were shaking their leaves
to the dreamy beat.
I never expected
that your affection
would have a huge effect on me,
causing me to think about you
every day and night,
your existence so vividly detailed,
so much more than any man
I had seen before.
I loved you before I even knew you.
I missed you when I wasn’t around you.
I needed to take it slow
and let these feelings ride,
but I couldn’t deny you.
I wanted to embrace
your warm touch,
flesh to flesh,
lips to lips,
our breaths in unity.
I wanted to hear your melody,
rock to the rhythm of your nation,
kiss your silky, delicate neck,
rub my hands upon your
youthful and soft cheeks,
your beautifully solid feet.
I wanted every night
to be spent with you,
to fall asleep on your
broad, capacious chest,
so close to him,
to the man I cherished.
