Hello and Goodbye

Home?
You text
Yes
I text back
stop by after work
and in a heartbeat
you respond
ok

When you walk in
to my house
the Hi Honey
barely leaves my lips
before your hand is
on the back of my neck
griping my hair
and you are pulling me
against you and
your hands are
everywhere at once
your tongue is sliding
along and inside my lips
twirling with mine
and then my lip is
between your teeth
and then your teeth
are on my throat
and then you
are softly kissing me and
I’m holding onto you
tightly
nails digging
into your arms
and we are both groaning
and panting
with the frustration
of not having enough time
and wearing
too many clothes
and then
still kissing
still touching
you are walking me
backwards
and then I am
against the couch
on the couch
on my back
and your hand is
between my legs
your fingers slipping
under my shorts
and your eyes are
on mine and
I am hot
and I am wet
and I am ready

And then your phone rings

We freeze
You take it out of your pocket
and roll your eyes
and turn it towards me
and I see that it is
her
and I sigh
and I sit up
and I say
Bye Honey

And you leave
and you call
on your way home
to her
and say
I’m sorry
she needed me
and as always I say
that’s ok Honey
Have a good night
I’ll see you soon

And I take solace
in the fact that
I know
with absolute certainty
that you will not
greet her
when you see her
the way you
greet me
when you see me
and the way I would
want you
to greet me
every
fucking
day
if you were
only
and always
mine
