How much time has passed?
Eyes still closed
Laying on my back
Blocking everything out
The soft pillows and blankets make me safe
Outside sounds are muted
Dark and calm, the curtains close us in
I can hear your breathing
Rolling, you rest half of your weight against me
Turning my head I know you are there
Watching
Waiting
Stretching
We meet
Our lips touch so softly
Like brushing fingertips
Or blowing sparks
awakening
And what was at once warm, soft, and dry
Is open and wet
Rolling and searching
Probing like drifting smoke
Creeping like morning fog
Until your body is temporarily part of me
Merging
ebbing and flowing
Passing back and forth
moans and sighs
whispers
I love you
I know...I know I love you
