listening to you

can you move closer to me
she says
and lie next to me.
i don't want sex,
i just want to feel the weight
of you.
the length of your body,
your arms and legs,
your heart on my heart.
i want to hear the air
as it leaves your lungs.
taste the salt of your skin.
feel the strength of your back.
i want to know who you
are. please. don't speak
a word, i need this,
she says. do it for me
before we go any further.

Lovely.
That is how I often feel as well.
There is nothing more intimate than being silent, with skin to skin contact.
I love being quiet and still, so that I can absolutely focus on your body, our bodies together, your smell, and the pattern of your breathi.

I just say, let's do it and be done with it.
