she said
I think you must be
the world's best lover
he could hear voice rising
in vibration through his chest
to get inside his head

she said
you care more for me
than for yourself

he said nothing
but thought about
how true that was
kissed the top of her head
stretched his arms further around her

~

she said
you must be
the worlds best lover
you don't change
always give me what I want

she said
I think you're afraid to ask
for yourself

he wondered about that
if she was right
knowing she might be
hugged himself tight inside
said nothing

~

she said
you might be
the worlds best lover
but you never give
anything of yourself
I never know what's going on
inside your head

she said
it's good it's great
just sometimes I want be
in there with you
do you know what I mean

he looked at her
frowned
opened his mouth
to tell her a story
of himself
closed it again
feeling the shortness of his breath
and his heartbeat

~

she said
you were a great lover
the best
kissed him on his cheek
waited

he held her close in a hug
tight for a moment
gazed out to the bay
and the water
behind her shoulder
not thinking anything
turned to leave

noticed his breath
came easier today

~
