It's just so hard not to touch you, love.

you dance around me
when others are watching
like you don't want them to know
about the dark room with the couch
behind a curtain, how you called me 
babygirl because the darkness
and the silence
made you braver.  

you kissed me on the lips
once 
where others could see.
I think it was an accident.
but when we're alone, we crash
into each other like the sea
finding a new place
on the shore,
my neck arched 
like a wave
for your lips to ride.

but sometimes, when no one
is watching, you
push your head back against
my chest, feel my breath
jump like the ocean
at high tide,
and smile.
