Together at Last

***

We spend the greater part of the weekend in that bed, exploring each other, pleasing each other over and over again. Stopping to eat or shower, we try more things, against a countertop, under the warm water. We lie together on the bed, watching the ticking fan, talking about what we will do the next time we're together, about how we can be together.

Now that I know, know that it works, that our bodies work as well as our words, I want it right away. No more delays, no more wishing and planning. I'll move across the country to be with you -- my work is portable, my kids love traveling and exploring new places. I know they will love you, too. Now, the only voice in my head is saying, Yes.
