I never saw the pain of the past in your eyes so clear blue green green blue the depth of your smile, the gleam of your hair, the tender arousing touch of your hand and body on mine, yet here at 2am you roll and toss then lie quiet beneath me and from our combined pleasure you confess fears carried from previous lovers. I am touched by your torments and insecurities both proud at your courage and strength then angered by fools who didn’t appreciate the joy they momentarily held, the pleasure they wasted then discarded, the despair they forced upon you. Your smile, your laugh and self discipline, I cannot see beyond the pleasure I receive from your company, your touch, and in the dark I shake my head and wrap myself around you and hold you while you sleep hoping to wipe away your groundless fears knowing we all do what we can, my own insecurities melt with yours, I can still feel your lips on my neck.
