I can’t explain the why
and the what
of falling in love with you
but I can definitely

describe the moment it
hit me
you turned your head to the side
laughing

I noticed your soul
in your eyes for the first time
it was a sight straight from the heaven
I’d envisioned as a child

I wanted to reach out and
touch you
but I was frozen in
my emotions

I touched you instead
with my words
and you caressed me with yours
hours of talking, you

left me quite breathless
for that was the most
incredible foreplay
I have ever experienced

neither of us moving
trapped in the moment
I leaned in closer to breathe
in your words

I felt you enter me
and rest in that special place
reserved in my heart
so long left vacant and longing

the clock said that seven hours was too long
to have stayed there
I rose and moved toward the door
you got up to open it

always the gentleman
our eyes locked for
a second or an eternity
whichever is longer

the first kiss came later
as I held onto my pillow and
closing the windows to my soul
I began to dream
