“I’ve been thinking about my legs
tied around his waist in summer.
I can still feel the heat of his skin
and how when our bodies were
pressed together I too could feel
the sun just beneath his limbs.
It was wrong but the way
his torso felt against mine
was just enough pleasure
to keep my conscious
from stopping my hands
and being unable to explore
his fragile anatomy.
I can still see us there,
can still remember how infinite I felt
when he touched the parts of me
that I never knew someone could
learn how to love.
But he loved me
with every molecule in his heart,
and I know that I will never
be able to create another memory
that still haunts me till this day
in any other being but his.”
