pause.

i work my leg around your torso and rest my arm over your shoulder. pause. i feel you around me. pause. i nuzzle your ear with my nose, licking it with my tongue. happiness doesn't feel like this. dreams do. slowly it's right. pause. your jaw line presents the path, i follow. slowly making your way to your mouth, I wonder if I'll get there, but it doesn't really matter. pause. i'm too happy to make up my mind about the next move. i'm intoxicated by the path. pause. your lips feel like i was never gone and never there at the same time. new but so comfortable. pause. if only the pause could last forever. but time slips. slowly but not. i pause. and know.
