I don’t want to love
you and up
until a few
days ago
I thought for sure
 
that I did
not.
 
But the way
you let your weight
collapse into
mine

within that elevator

desperately
sucking at my scent
from the
deepest
sanctuaries of
my neck

I knew
we had slipped
beyond
something
playful.

It was
apparent
that you
had been yearning
for  this
embrace
for some time
now
 

and were
no longer
as good
as I at
abandoning
emotion.

 
You melted
into my skin
revealing your
insecurities
as you
do
simply for me.
 
See
only a man
makes you
feel this way
 
like a
woman.
 
You said
you wished
things were
different

but
I still don’t.
