And I looked you dead in the eye, fearless.
Your sweat dripped from the small of your back,
down from my knees.
I shook and shivered, took a breath
gripped your shoulders, hard.
Realized that you were staring down at me,
the whole time, fearless.
I kissed you to preserve the moment,
kept you quiet (don't break the silence)
I woke up that morning smiling.
