I wrote this May 26, 1999.

Untitled

I found myself waking up boldly naked by your side
I studied your beautiful face resting peacefully
Every curve was perfect to my touch
I thought of our many times together
The way you always made me smile
I felt the joy you bestowed upon me
Your chocolate brown eyes haunt me
You light touch enchants me
So look at me with your hands
Feel me with your eyes
Intertwine your soul with mine
The day before you had grabbed my hand
And pulled me into the rain
We ran and jumped through puddles
Playing until you pulled me close
Into the sweetest kiss I had ever felt
You awoke spontaneity in me
Everything changed in that one moment
Being in your arms meant so much
But as I woke up your beauty frightened me
It has never been like this
I've been hurt before, abused
So I left your wonder, scared
But I didn't run because I don't love you
I ran because I didn't think you could ever love me.
