The Lover

last night

I was your lover last night—
I am no longer afraid,
I no longer wonder What if?

I was your lover last night—
when the bed creaked in mid-pique,
as your head hung over the side.

I was your lover last night—
as The Lover played upon the wall,
as you echoed through the halls of ecstasy.

I was your lover last night—
it was my first virtual orgy,
it was my first I’m all into you, too.

I was your lover last night—
and I am grateful, I am happy;
and albeit I naturally pine for more,
I know pangs cannot be heard
in a space where no one is listening.

I was your lover last night—
despite the daunting beginning,
despite the haunting of one lonely soul.

I was your lover last night—
thank you for staying;
it was nice to see your sleepy eyes
before you had to go.

I was your lover last night—
and you were mine.
Yes, and you were mine.
