These hot tears running down my cheeks.

The deep breathing filled with heartache.

What are these emotions coming over me?

Why?

The simple musical trigger cannot be the only factor to blame.

I've tried so hard to move on and push these feelings aside.

I guess there will always be cracks in this mask.

I despise these leaks of oversensitivity.

Please, crawl back into the box I've placed you in.

Sexual expression is welcomed with open eyes in my generation.

Loquacious mouths and hungry ears.

Conquests congratulated and encouraged.

Virginity, a symbol of purity and innocence.

Not a dirty word... yet there is an effort to hide,

for those who are confided in grow quiet.

What happened to the openness and the acceptance?

Making the inexperienced feel as a child,

even with those in matched age.

Was the openness in direct relation to

the legs?

You seem to have come out of nowhere,

an experience I couldn't see from miles away.

It's like biting into something without expectation

only to be doubtful at first, but developing a craving for it 
with each. additional. bite.

I've tried to fight with logic,

but always end up losing that battle.

The senses are overpowering, the chemistry undeniable.

I ask myself what to do, but the predictions are impossible.

So I choose to hold your hand and float down the stream that is called life.

the cycle.

Butterflies. Pounding Heart. Breathless Pauses.

Quick Glances. Nervous Giggles. Clammy Hands.

Long Embraces. Sweet Kisses. Lingering Goodbyes.
Vulnerability. Trust. Committed Love.

Conversation. Familiarity. Compromise.

Heated Arguments. Jealousy. Lack of Appreciation.

Distance. Flooding Emotion. Separation.

Loneliness. Betrayal. Regret.

Bitterness. Avoidance. Awkward Interaction.

In these moments...

it's apparent through the looks and the silence;

the words we're both trying to keep inside.

Why does it have to be a game of hide and seek?

We both know how we feel, but have lost the ability to speak.

The look might be all we need,

our own language and the mystery.

If one of us says it, we'll be in more deep.

But let's forget about this game and one's pride to keep.

I'll unveil my emotions and be up front.

With these lips I tell you I love you

see, that wasn't so tough.
