...His Body Heat...

...My head is...
...on his chest...
...I hear it...
...faster...
...louder...
...harder...
...it's a heartbeat...
...but it's not his...
...the heartbeat...
...is mine.
...Is it from...
...the excitement....
...of his body being...
...perfect...
...and decorated...
...and beautiful.
...It is from...
...fear...
...fear of enjoying this moment...
...fear of the safety I feel in his arms...
...fear of feeling cold without his body heat...
...fear of the reality...
...that our connection is so perfect...
...and I'm perfect - at one thing...
...fucking shit up.
