Him

I have found the man that spins me around his finger, walking blissfully down the street, any street, any time, simply because we can

Our life is a synchronized dance, stepping in and out of tune with our surroundings

I have found the man who tells me his deepest secrets through a single unwavering stare, and even more of the truth when he briefly, quickly glances away

Our life is a novel – a story held securely in precious, delicate palms

I have found the man who holds me in a way that assures me I will never be tossed aside – in a way that lingers on for days, yet constantly causes me to crave more

Our life is soft silky skin melting over steaming stones, breathable and pure and fully nourished

I have found the man who yearns for me at the same rate that I do him

I have found the man who makes crude, playful jokes in an effortlessly polite and creative manner

I have found the father, the lover, the best friend

I have found the man with strong hands, the man with sturdy thighs, the man with open ears and a sultry, sophisticated mouth

I have found the man I have been searching for

I have his perfect body in my arms

I have his sweet head cradled in my hands

I have his forehead soft beneath my lips

And the best part is I wasn’t even looking

He just appeared
