held

lunarchloedip

he drags his hands

slowly

gently

across my body

and i almost flinch

 

he reaches

the waist

and pulls his hands up

i close my eyes

expecting him to stop

at the chest

to hold what men like best

 

but he barely grazes it

brushes his fingertips

straight past it

all the way up

up past my shoulders

along my neck

to my chin

where he pulls me in

and cups my face

 

i cannot believe

i’m being held

 

when he kisses me

it is soft

not demanding

or wanting

it’s not screaming

he’s not trying

to push me into more intimate feelings

he’s just kissing me

he is kissing me

almost as if

he loves me

 

i am being held

almost as if

i am loved.
