You came over unannounced
I scolded you
I’m so sorry
I wished you’d given me notice
I didn’t want you to see me without my cover up
I felt exposed
At my lecturing and sarcasm you laughed
At my insecurity you stroked my bare cheek
And played with my hair
You looked me in my eyes
Your admiration did not change
You didn’t mind waiting as I got ready
Where did you come from!?
We walked the beach bare foot
watching Rameses chase the birds
I stared as you wrestled around with him
It was a beautiful day
You told me I have the power to bring a man to his knees
I told you my powers are focused on me for now
I saw the disappointment on your face and then the optimism
You kissed me goodbye on my forehead
I deeply sighed
You have no idea how much I enjoy you
Or how hard it is for me to deny you me
One day I’m going to give in
And once again my world will be turned up side down
Therefore, I’m holding onto myself for as long as possible
