You

I'm happy to have met you
I often relish
On things unsaid

But I never
Relish moments
Spent with you
Or maybe I do

It's just

We're so restricted
Limited
In expression
And the small clues
Are overwhelming

You

Are overwhelming

And I can only imagine
Dream
Ever waking
Ever sleeping
With you
And what we'd do
And talk about
If we were left
Alone

It is not your sex
Your perfect
Body
Your fragmented soul
Or the heart
Tattooed on your ankle

Not the way you see me
Right through every lie
Every
Stripping
Of me
When you lay that gaze
Steadily
Pointedly
To let me see
Your intention

It is not to own
It is not to possess
It is not to caress
A weakness
Willing to be possessed

It is truth
That lays bare
It an embarrassing
Blushing
Kind of scare

It asks of me
Be brave
Calls to me

Open to me
Concede
Concede

And my pride is dwindled
I think you've won
Can't admit it yet
But then
Would that much fun?
