I can taste your skin just by looking at you. The texture is flat and smooth against my tongue. Your lips on my skin pull the string below my bellybutton tighter. Your breath invades me and everything is hot. Drink me in and let me drown.

Do you feel the way I feel when I look at you? Do you feel your heart beat harder? Do you feel your fists perspire? I love you the way trees love the sun: I exist in your light.
