Nearly five years of
Exploring, learning, knowing
And still, my breath catches
Unashamed appreciation
My eyes travel
The delicious curves of
Your body
And still, my breath catches
My hands travel your skin
Exploring as if
For the first time
The well-known paths
Your heartbeat quickens
And still, my breath catches
Curled in the safety of
Your arms
Head nuzzled in neck
Breathing slows
Aftershocks of desire
And still, my breath catches
It's dark and quiet
Your head on my shoulder
Slumber takes us both
A pause in the peace of us
And still, my breath catches
