I don’t remember how it was we met
Somewhere along the way,
you succeeded in catching my attention
And somewhere along the way,
I succeeded in sparking your interest

And so here I stand,
Not naked but honestly
And here you are,
Virtually fearless –
Which I attribute to your lack
of experience and it seems so fresh

For all of this
I am honored by your infatuation
And I embrace your optimism
And I indulge in the idea of you
someday being entangled in my arms
Such a welcomed investment

Half habitually I sexualize our friendship,
Half-heartedly I dismiss the thought
And I know that perhaps you can relate
So I’ll climb the latter, but never dive
So I’ll pretend that I want you over me
So I’ll reach for your hand,
but never actually touch skin

And so here I stand,
Still holding my breath
And here you are,
Still so dedicated –
Which I attribute to your understanding
of what it means to be a man

For all this
I am touched by your romanticism
And I anticipate your next move
And I crave the freedom to trace
the length of your body without feeling guilty
Such a stinging surprise

That's right, I ate your fries.

Dark Enchantress-
This is excellent!
You drew me in and had me hanging on every word.
Outstanding job of expressing these feelings,
and making them real for the reader.
VERY well done!
Hugs,
~Vicky

Wow, this is so much of what I'm seeing right now in my life. I really relate to this, minus the admiration. I'm still in the unappreciated, blind stage of things, but I do recognize the greatness of this poem. Very well written.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

Somewhere out there a cow is laughing at you
