Deservedly
Comfortable with your body,
you've lain with many men.
Some treated you just fine,
others were never to be seen again.
The act is not the scary part-
it's the staying once it's over.
Holding another's body as you
s l o w l y become sober.
Feeling the weight
of this stranger next to you-
vulnerable, naked, unsure of what to do.
You ache for him to kiss
every inch of your skin,
but as the silence thickens
all the familiar fears kick in.
Desperately hoping this was not one more
mistake....
Did you give to him a gift he did not deserve to take?
Is he just like all the other boys-
concerned only with desire?
Did he feign sincerity with the cunning of a liar?
But... WAIT. Do not despair.
You're on the brink of something new,
as he turns over his body
and looks deep into you.
He strokes your face and
gently tucks your hair behind your ear,
whispering the three words
that you have always longed to hear:
"I love you."
