Reaching

Folder: 
Tributes to Lovers

You were reaching,
fishing for compliments.


Did you want me to tell you
I was looking for
someone like you?


Did you expect me to say
I wanted you more than them?


Did you need that validation
and was it just for your ego?


Well, I just wanted you to tell me
you weren't surprised
all these men pined for me.


I hoped you would say
how sexy and desirable I was.


It was different when you said it
because you knew what
my wet skin felt like.


You had tasted my kiss
and heard my moans.


But I was reaching too.
