When I was younger, as our lips met I was so eager to free you from your fabric bonds I was in such a hurry to liberate you from the oppressive clothing that was strangling your body inhibiting your beauty hiding the soft curves of your skin I treated our time together like a small child would treat a Christmas gift, Greedily tearing away at the wrapping paper to retrieve the object of his desire.
Unaware that anticipation can be just as rewarding as the reward itself
My priorities have shifted I've learned
Let me just lay next to you admire you as you bite your lip enticing a kiss.
Just a small one
Let me run my hand down your arm as my fingers find yours and i n t e r t w i n e
Let me watch as your eyes follow mine into the place where no words need be spoken
I want to listen to your heartbeat There's no need to rush this.
