There's desires

That won't announce themselves

Growing quietly

Like a secret

Being shared between skin and breath

With you

Wanting was silent

But unmistakable

Living in ways 

When you stood to close

Ways that our laughter 

Shaped into mine

The way our silence 

Felt charged 

But not empty

We didn't speak it

Our bodies did the talking

To the lean 

The pauses

Inhale being held

Just moments that are too long

Some wants

Are too fragile for this language 

Too honest to have an explanations

Ours is a truth

Carrying in our bones

Without wanting words

That would say everything

– E. J.
