Alive



Hearts racing…
My stomachs in my throat.

Nervous.

I’m smiling.
I thought I forgot how to do that.

Happy.
I can feel her coming back.
It’s been quite some time.

Pleasure.

You’re tracing my face with your fingers.
I can feel you looking into my soul.

That’s it.
The way you’re looking at me.
That’s it, shes alive.
