September 30, 1997

i fell in love with your voice, lips, hips, thighs

your arms, legs, wrists, neck, strong and soft

acting as a platform for your intelligence

you drew me in

i fell in love with your fingers and how they

entwined with my own

i fell in love with your shoulders - how i wanted

to rub them but it was too soon

the crook of your elbow

the way you shrugged

when i looked at you

the way you blinked so sweetly at me

how you touched my hair

i didn't want you to stop

i fell in love with the

way my head fit on your chest

i fell in love with the thought

of having you there

i fell in love with how comfortable i felt

i wanted to kiss your neck, your chin, your lips

to feel the tingling smoothness

as your lips brushed against mine

i fell in love with the dreams i had about you

i fell in love with you

when you wouldn't leave, when you left, and to this day

i love how after you left i could smell you

on my pillow, in my hair, on my hands, and i wish i

could smell you again
