Go

We had to say good-bye
before we had a chance to say hello.
I watched you slip into the room,
saw your greetings to a few others.

Your eyes fixed on my skin,
over my hair, my curves
I won't look but it does not matter,
electricity permeates the balmy air.

I feel your heat as you approach,
vow not to show anticipation.
Your smile dazzles my senses,
even after this time, I am amazed.

The implosion of my mind is complete,
breath escapes my lungs softly.
When I look up, I know
you can see into my soul.

Never have I been so bare,
stripped of all pretense.
Clothes do nothing to cover me,
you have already seen all I have to give.

My eyes warm to yours,
our embrace matches the feelings inside.
I smile with a sense of ease
and let you go.
