When
You told me
About
The scar,
Immediately
I wanted
To kiss it
And make you
Feel
Wanted,
And desired-
And whole again.
When
You shared
Parts
Of your pain,
I wanted you
To feel
My touch
On your skin,
Erasing
Those memories,
And tracing
New ones
Across your body
And in your mind.
When
You hugged me,
I fought
To keep my hands
From wandering
And exploring
Your shape,
And saying
To you
“Thank you
For being
Here
In this
Moment-
Today.”
