I was there

I was there when my hand rested gently on your hip
When it found its way under the covers
when I felt the warmth of your skin under my palm
at the meeting of your hip and thigh

I was there when you turned over
When you pulled me into your chest
breathing the air you'd just exhaled
close enough to kiss places I'd only dreamed of kissing

I was there when you walked in
removed your inhibitions
ones I'd always said you didn't need with me
ones that told me you were present with me

I was there when you painted your body onto mine
skin against skin
flesh of my flesh
lover of my heart

I was there when big spoon and little spoon
fell into their proper positions
and my heart soared
while by body found home

I was there when I slipped a leg behind me
making sure I was on my side
realizing I couldn't have turned flat on my back less I fall on the floor
knowing you'd chosen to do this
to be this close
to create this intimacy

I was there when you faced me
once again pulling me into your breasts
and all of the sudden upping the stakes

I was there when you split my thighs
inserting yours between them
making me vulnerable
making an imprint on my mind

I was there when my hand found you
found the softness of you
rested there without resistance
there where they'd never been, but knew instinctively
intrinsically that they belonged

I was there when you again offered me the length of you
the way your hip curves up and nestled completely in my lap
little spoon of mine
completely aligned
knees over knees
thighs over thighs
hips parallel
me in the most beautiful dream I'd ever dreamed
but conscious

I was there, placing my hand on your thigh
realizing that this position is second nature
nurturing my soul
making a home in my heart

I was there when I draped my arm across your body
hand on the belly I'd long wanted to caress
bodies in complete harmony
Worlds crashing together and not moving at all

I was there
And I wasn't alone
Your body spoke in ways your mouth never had
and I believed your hips and thighs
I believed the way you pulled me into you

I was there when dreams I'd had of you
became consciousness
I believed your body

I was there in white
You were there in black
and we got entangled in each other

I was there
You are there too
We made the gray together
