| Last Night |
| It was there with me all day in the back of my mind where I tried to make it stay. The questions you posed in that sincere tone of voice Until finally thoughts of your invitation kept me from sleeping Barely thinking of my actions, I drove the route I knew as well as my own name, hoping the sound of my car in the drive would not wake you before I found the courage I searched for. What seemed like hours passed as I sat staring at your window, imagining how you looked sleeping and what dreams lurked beneath your closed eyes. Must have been in some sort of trance because I didn't see you come through the front door and settle into the seat next to me There we sat talking and not talking, radio serenading us...lyrics capturing everything we left unsaid. Somehow your eyes sang to me those words that never passed through your lips...straight to my heart, re-igniting flames that burned for you long ago. You touched me in that innocent way you always have, almost carelessly, like your arm around my shoulder, hands caressing my stomach, or tongue tracing the outline of my mouth where the most natural places for you to be. I think you knew though, my reaction was anything but innocent that your touch moved me in ways that made me want to surrender the inside of me to every part of you. Our past consisted of many chapters. No matter the ending though, there always seemed to be another story yet to be told. From first love, to friends, confidantes, back to lovers again..and again as friends But to cross that path again, to begin a new with you was frighteningly exciting something I knew I wanted, but I wanted this transition to be our last. My mind told me to approach in small cautious steps. But my heart and my body wanted to take long strides, leaps and bounds to feel in the same space with me. To just absorb whatever it is that makes me feel so good when you're near. There we sat, talking and not talking lips moving, bodies listening leaving nothing unsaid and no emotion unexpressed.
