Adoration

You’re the first man to kiss my body out of adoration instead of lust.

The first man who told me my body was beautiful

loud enough that I believed it.

The first man to kiss me

and not want anything more than just that kiss.

 

You 

have discovered freckles on my skin

that I never even knew existed.

You 

have shown me something so innocent,

so pure;

something I never thought I deserved.
