PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I've been in a few relationships,
been used, been hurt.

But for once, I'm baffled,
you're not like the rest.

You hold me, rest your head on mine,
and you seem to relax.

Your eyes are sincere,
your touch gentle.

I want to believe we can have a happy future,
and I wrestle with myself,
seeing the truth in your eyes,
in your touch.

Around you I feel peace,
joy at the simple pleasures in life.

It's been almost forever since I've
felt such pure emotions:
nervous, excited, curious, joy, content.

You inspire these feelings,
one I thought I'd forgotten.

Only one person has ever made me
as giddy as you do,
and we had something great.

Maybe these same emotions I now feel
are signs, a way to make me see.

Make me realize I can be happy again,
just being in someone's presence.

I've learned to connect kisses to sex,
but you teach me different.

You kiss me, with no further intentions,
no hidden motives.

That is so new to me,
I sit back in wonder, why me?

But I don't ponder it too much,
I'm grateful for you.

You can teach me to be patient,
to trust someone again.

You can teach me to go slowly,
to take each moment one step at a time,
one breath at a time.

You could be the one to complete me,
to love me, to save me.

But for now, I'm content here,
in the circle of your arms.

Taking each moment slowly,
one breath at a time.
