As he looked at her
with a gaze of surprise
and an expression
of stress released
she fumbled with the
English language
her first tongue
but she couldn't
work it right
so she just smiled
he started to stand up
mumbled something
about not wishing to
wear out his welcome
and she wondered
if he came just to come
or if he came for love
she cornered him
in the doorway
and she said
"I've breathed the air
that came from your lungs
I've tasted your tongue
between my lips
I've heard your voice
breathless by my ear
and felt your
exploring fingertips
but I want more"
she said
"oh so much more"
she said
he said
"I don't know
what this is
I can't give
more than this
right now
maybe
someday"
he said
"maybe someday"
he said
so they looked
at each other
she wondered
if she should say
anything else
and he didn't make
any move
so she kissed him
and opened the door
so he could leave
he told her
he'd be in touch
and she
waved good-bye
then tried to find
her senses
she returned
to that place
where they'd
been laying
moments before
pillows still warm
and she curled up
and said
"this is enough for now
but I'll want more"
she said
"maybe someday"
she said
