I wonder what it would be like


to sift my hands

through your chocolate-brown hair,

to rest my head

on your shoulder,

to feel your heart beating

in your ribcage like a hungry beast.


To hold your clammy hands

in my ice-cold ones,

to stroke your soft face

and gaze into your eyes,

to kiss your  lips

even in the rain.


I wonder what it would be like

to be yours,

and I always wonder if

you question the same.
