I can remember when I didn't know how to kiss. I can
remember when I didn't understand how babies were made. I
can remember not knowing what the oddly-shaped rubber glove
commercials were for. I can remember not knowing what the thing
between a boy's legs looked like. I can remember having two
parents who loved to kiss each other. I can remember having a
boyfriend who loved to hold my hand. I can remember that time
before I had scars on my knuckles and inner thighs. I can
remember not being afraid of the commitment of a relationship.
I can remember when my mother used to love me. I can remember
thinking the world was this brilliant place. I can
remember when I was innocent.
i crave you
in the most
innocent form.
i crave to say
good night and give you
forehead kisses
and to say
that i adore you
when you feel
at your worst.
i crave you
in ways
where i just
want to be
next to you
and nothing
more or less.
