Now, My Favorite Part

Words swim in my head
as I look at you,
yet I say nothing
while other things we do
laying here in my bed.

You play with my hair,
I trace the outline of your shoulder.
Laying here, face to face,
every moment growning bolder.
As at eachother we stare.

My feet find your feet
and our ankles interlock.
I smile knowingly
as you push at my sock.
I move my foot in retreat.

You touch my face
and hold my hand
as you lean in to kiss me.
On my lips your lips land
as my heart begins to race.

This is only the start
of whatever is to come.
It could be just kissing,
or that and then some.
This is my favorite part.
