Between Borders and Bodies

Miles between us—

but only a border,

a thin, invisible thread

between restraint and ruin,

between lips that haven’t touched

and hearts that already have.

I ache in silence,

wanting to feel you—

not just your skin,

but your weight,

your breath,

your command

as it meets my surrender.

Lust coils like smoke

in my belly,

a heat I can’t ignore.

You pull it from me

with every word,

every whisper

that wraps around my throat

like your unseen hands.

And yet—

I’m scared.

Not of you,

but of the way

you’ve already carved your name

into places no one’s dared touch.

I crave your everything—

your tongue against my trembling,

your voice low against my begging,

your fingers,

your fire,

your firm, slow claiming.

But deeper still,

I want to give you

what no one else gets—

my heart,

shivering and soft,

wrapped in longing

and laid bare like my body

would be under you.

Can you take it

without breaking it?

Will you stay

when I let you

see the most fragile part of me?

I don’t want to scare you away.

But if you knew how much I love you—

how I already belong to you,

in whispers, in want,

in the wild rhythm of my fear

Maybe you’d hold me tighter

when we finally meet

on the other side of the border.

And I’d let go.

Of fear.

Of distance.

Of everything

except you

I have fallen but afraid to get hurt. Its been forever since I felt a pull this strong towards someone
