We take turns cascading eyes over each
others bodies. Neither making a physical
play, cautiously investigating while further
investing towards the growing tension.
Wanting more than traded stares, I give in
and walk away from my safe space. Leaving
behind the familiar, I fracture your bubble
and stand before your presence. Our minds
whisper goodbye, handing over the keys to
our sleeping hearts. ‘May I join you?’ You
contemplate for a moment and nod yes.


What a great description of that tension before moving on an attraction that is obviously mutual. You hint at the sexuality without being overt which adds so much to the content which seems to convey the same message (“growing tension” “handing over the keys to our sleeping hearts”. This is an intriguing read.

This is a dangerous post to read at 630 am haha.
How beautifully structured, really capturing that first tension as you reach this point for the first time, that all too revealing moment where, be It physical or not, you are totally bare to the other person.
