" The thing is
no one really knows
the space they o c c u p y in someone else’s mind
You u n d e r e s t i m a t e
the extent to which
you are t h o u g h t of
you are t h o u g h t of
the extent to which
someone w i s h e s
someone w i s h e s
your warm body
were pressing up against theirs
were pressing up against theirs
Yes
You will have c e l l u l i t e years from now
you are not perfect
you get irritable and cranky
but there are always the days
when you w a n t him so much
And when your two b o d i e s meet
it’s like the first time all over again
Only you’re both
more e x p e r i e n c e d and practiced
It’s like returning h o m e
from a long journey overseas
to a house that was so l o v e d and cherished
a house that feels as f a m i l i a r as your own skin
A house you could walk through
with your eyes closed
and not bump into a single thing. "
