Am I sitting on the gate waiting for you?
Maybe… this blazing hot day is made for these exciting thoughts. This thin cotton dress is almost see-through with enough unfastened buttons. You know us, life is tough, and no one has much. I have this, so look and think about my sun-kissed body naked. And look at you, covered in the dust from your toil; those beads of sweat are from such arduous work.
My smile says it all; I have dishonest intentions, but you know that, don’t you?
You know who I am, and saw that glimmer in my eyes when my pupils dilated. I grinned like a fool with my heart on my sleeve. Usually, I can make any man beg, and you… I cannot. My God, I have tried. No, you strip all the layers away until all you see now is me, the real me.
For you, it might only be an instinct, a vague gut feeling… and hopefully somewhere else. I have thought of nothing else all day, week, and for years. We walked to school together, grew tall, and became adults together. You were my first, last, and only crush… you were the gentleman amongst a pit of vipers. You are the person that inspires me to dry my eyes. To get up and go out there when they say such cruel things about me. I walk for miles to glance into your striking eyes and feel the warmth from that winning smile.
You are the electricity that makes my body tingle. You are the one thing that could make my tarnished soul pure. Please, God, don’t say you think of me as a sister. I tried to make it obvious, but I was afraid I would scare you away. You are so young like me, and our minds are full of contradictions and fears. Will he like me? Will she want me like that? It’s no secret now, sitting on this gate, I am no longer invisible to you.
Yes, feast your eyes, you can see my dress has hitched up, and it almost reveals my treasure. I can see your shirt is dirty, and your breathing hitches. You won’t need that where we are going. Come up to the hayloft with me; let me feel your naked chest against mine when you quiver with lust. I want to make your fingers tremble when you touch me for the first time. Don’t be afraid; it won’t hurt. We will kiss first. You know how to do that, don’t you? I hear what other girls say behind your back.
I know what the bad boys want, and I took it from them. Now, I reject them all. Look at my lips, gaze into these hopeful eyes and think only of me. When they see you next, they will know what you are. A man… my man. Muscular, strong, and nobody’s fool.
You shared your dreams with me when we were young, and I watched you grow. Humble, modest aspirations, not as a rockstar, but as a provider. Not famous, but a rock, dependable, and someone to make your parents proud. I will be the reason for the person you yearn to be. I can elevate you there; I can be the wind in your sails, your inspiration.
The bright sunlight dims through the shiplap walls. The heat churns inside me as my eyes undress you. Please lose your fear and kiss me.
You plunge for it and taste of summer berries. The heady musk of your toil froths intense need in my hot loins. It is too much, and I press my hand against you, tilt my head and plead to slow down. Then, you did something that made my soul sing, pouring out all your emotions as your lips grazed mine, and you took me into your embrace. My eyes flicker closed as it overwhelms me, and this kiss was years in the making.
Yes, that’s it, do it again and again. Oh God, I am on fire, my breathing is shot, you have me… take me. It’s okay; I know you do not want her; I never thought you did. Yes, there is no one else. It’s you, my love. I want you.
Do you need me? Do you? Now, I am liquid in your arms. Let my lips ease your concerns, help you forget about your troubles, and lose yourself in me for a while. I know it’s not easy; nothing worth having is. Your dreams are my dreams; my hopes are your hopes. Let me help with those buttons; yes, lift my dress over my head.
We are laughing, tangled in our garments until we are not, and you stop… time stops. It’s there in your eyes as that earnestness I adore. You tell me I am beautiful, and it takes my breath away. My kisses console you, and each carries a message of provocation. Dare to dream, lover, and we descend into the hay. Hold me next to you; we slot together so perfectly.
Keep me safe in your arms; kiss my neck and bare shoulders. Feel my grip on your bicep, purring for your love. We can be the whole greater than the sum of its parts. It will be love, a love that binds, nurtures, grows and has no bounds. You will never have to worry about us; I will be yours, and you will always know what you mean to me.
