Like Silk

June 26th, 2006

it’s that time of night again. i cant help but wonder how i found myself here. it’s like i never learn.

he asked me, what do you think?

and i said, i want whatever you want.

whatever you want.

he’s slightly startled. but you dont know what i want, he says.

you know how when you meet someone for the first time, and you dont even know his name or a single thing about him, but you just think, this guy and i … we’d be so good together. you know how it’s like that? it’s the same thing now, i reply.

have you done this before? he asks.

no, i say.

no, i havent.

———

I can’t let you be
cause your beauty won’t allow me
wrapped in white sheets,
like an angel from a bedtime story.
