Never Have I Ever...

Listened for your voice, spoken with you, asked for your time, been alone with you, shared your laugh, heard you voice my name...

But then…

I envied your beingness

I admired your beauty

I held your hand

I felt your smile

I embraced you wholly

I smelled your hair

I caressed your face

I cradled your head

I stared into your eyes

I tasted your lips

I absorbed your passion

I wanted you so much

I raised your pulse

I excited your heart

I accepted your anxiety

I relaxed your apprehension

I loosened your control

I witnessed your nakedness

I encouraged your curiosity

I gave you my permission

I allowed you to dominate

I swam in your lust

I recognized my equal

I surrendered my vulnerability

I accepted your heart

I touched your soul

Never have I ever...fallen in love
